It has been brought to our attention that the CSI/Forensic department at Gainsborough Police Station is rumoured to be on a short list to be closed.

This would mean for all the incidents/attacks/burglaries that unfortunately at the moment we seem to be getting so many of will more than likely now have to be investigated by the CSI team from Lincoln.

For anyone who has been a victim of one of these crimes they know it can already take a good length of time before these officers can come and take/record evidence and that wait can be a stressful time.

We constantly see complaints on the local items for sale groups about the local Police not doing enough to help protect the community, and although most of us understand that they are very busy people we do not think any of us can be in agreement that weakening our local Police Force further is good for the community.
