Lincolnshire Police still deciding on how to best use the £1.8m fund to deal with RAF Scampton challenges
Police are considering whether to use £1.8million extra funding to station dedicated officers at RAF Scampton.
Deputy Chief Constable Julia Debenham said: “This funding will bolster our operational capability, support neighbourhood policing, and meet ongoing demands, including the new immigration facility at Scampton. Local residents and campaigners have raised safety fears over the influx of young men to the area, both to the community itself and to the asylum seekers if they decide to walk into or out of Lincoln along the A15.
"We are acutely aware of the heightened concerns of residents in and around the Scampton area and this funding will allow the Chief Constable to support those communities."
