What is In The Know?

Lancashire Constabulary is committed to involving the community in the policing of Lancashire. We believe that by improving the flow of information between the community and its police we can all make a greater impact in the prevention and detection of crime and anti-social behaviour.

In The Know is a free service that allows the police and selected partners to send you information and updates about what is happening in your area, keeping you In The Know. It also allows you to reply to messages and participate in the exchange of information with Lancashire Constabulary and Neighbourhood Watch.

As a registered recipient you will not only benefit from two way messaging but may also hear about positive police action in your community, help identify suspected or wanted criminals or learn about community groups, events or meetings in your area.

This service is not monitored 24/7 and is not for reporting crimes or incidents. To report these please contact Lancashire Police online or by telephone on 101.

What is Neighbourhood Alert?

Neighbourhood Alert is the national messaging platform that powers In The Know, which is the Lancashire brand name for this service. You may see the Neighbourhood Alerts logo from time to time on your messages and on the website but do not be confused by this, when you use In The Know or need to log into and access your account you should always search for the In The Know website.
