THE CHANGING FACE OF BRIGG POLICING

Brigg Blog came across an old photograph today showing Brigg police in 2000.
It's described as their official Millennium picture.
The image shows an inspector, Dick Taylor, two sergeants, 13 uniformed constables and six other staff in plain clothes.
That all adds up to 22 people.
Brigg police station today is not a base for neighbourhood policing.
It is involved in Protecting Vulnerable People.
However, the force has stressed that serving officers are within Brigg police station and can be deployed locally should the need arise.
We think the picture from 2000 is probably copyright Humberside Police, so we can't share it with you today.
That's a pity as it's a rather impressive line-up, featuring three neat rows of staff, taken on a grassy area near Barnard Avenue.
