The region covered by Lincolnshire Police is one of the largest force areas in England and Wales, covering some 2,284 square miles and serving 646,600 people.

The Force Communication & Control Centre has a presentation screen within the centre, which it uses to inform staff of various statistics, which are maintained via Microsoft Access databases. This includes the number of calls processed, targets achieved and calls outstanding for customer callback. It is also used to link to text documents showing the latest intelligence briefings, performance results and centre news/announcements.

Barry Hughes says: "I have found DataPoint a tool of inestimable value in achieving the distribution of information to the centre. We have only seen the tip of the iceberg in what it can do for us".
