Three years ago the security company G4S boasted that it had radically improved emergency call handling times for Lincolnshire Police.
John Shaw, managing director for G4S policing support services, which took over the bulk of Lincolnshire’s operations in 2012, told the BBC that with G4S involved: “Hopefully the service people get from the police is as good as it was, if not better.”
Today G4S admitted that it had suspended 5 members of staff working with Lincolnshire Police “following an investigation led by the force with support from G4S”.
