Lancashire Police: In The Know

At a recent Overview and Scrutiny Meeting with Lancashire Police, a new service available to
members of the public was discussed. The Committee asked that all members be made aware of the
service so that they can promote it to their local residents. It is called 'In the Know'.

What is it?
Lancashire Police “In The Know” Messaging system offers you the means to receive information
from the police and other agencies in the County which suit your preferences for content, locality
and means of communication. It is a free service and there are no contracts, costs or obligations of
any kind.

How do I get involved?
Registration is quick, simple and completely free and can be done via the Lancashire Police website

How will I receive messages?
You can elect to receive messages by email, or sms text. Members registered to receive only text
messages will still receive important information, but not all messages/warnings circulated on the
system.

Can I change my mind?
Of course! If you change your mind, you can unsubscribe at any time. It’s your service, your call.

How about Data Protection?
Your personal details will be securely held under the provisions of the Data Protection Act and only
the people you want to see your details can see them. They will never be shared with commercial
organisations.

Why should I bother?
By registering on the system you can keep in touch with the things that concern you and your
community. We would like you to be informed, involved and “In the Know!”

The alert types that are available for members to sign up to are as follows:
• Business & Retail Crime Alerts
• Caravan & Campsite Crime Alerts
