A dispersal order was authorised for Lincoln city centre at 9.38pm yesterday (31 August) following repeated reports of anti-social behaviour involving groups of youths in the area.

Incidents reported included chairs being thrown outside local businesses, threatening behaviour towards members of the public, and hoax 999 calls reporting serious offences. These incidents have been reported by eyewitnesses and captured on CCTV.

Police have received multiple reports over the weekend and, despite continued engagement and intervention by officers, further incidents have continued to occur.

As a result, 48 hour dispersal order has been authorised and will remain in place until 9.38pm on 2 September 2026.

The order gives officers additional powers to direct individuals to leave the area and not return for a specified period where their behaviour is causing, or is likely to cause, anti-social behaviour.

Since the order has been put in place, we have not received any further reports.

Anyone with information about anti-social behaviour in the area is asked to contact our Force Control Room on 101, quoting incident 499 of 31 August 2026.

20 years in policing and when asked if he’d still join knowing what he knows now, this is what Community Beat Manager (CBM) PC Mark Barr said:

“Yes, there’s been a lot of changes in personnel, technology and systems, but without a shadow of a doubt, yeah, I’d still join the police.

“It’s been an absolutely fantastic career. I’ve worked with some amazing colleagues over the years and members of the public as well. They make the job as well.

“If you’re thinking of joining as a police constable, make sure you do your research, and you do it thoroughly. Speak to officers, find out more about what they do, visit your local police station to be as informed as possible, because it is a tough job physically and mentally.

“20 years has flown by, but I do feel at nearly 58 years old, I’m ready to retire. I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life. I will admit, I’m a bit nervous as I’ve been working since, I was 16 years old, but I am looking forward to retirement.”
