Today, Lancashire Constabulary commemorates the coronation of His Royal Highness King Charles III and Queen Consort.

Chief Constable Chris Rowley sends his congratulations and pledges to support and serve the king from Lancashire Constabulary.

The constabulary is also issuing advice ahead of the bank holiday, to ensure the public celebrate safely and have a memorable weekend.

The public is asked to stay vigilant and look after each other, reporting anything suspicious whilst out and about to Counter Terrorism Police at https://act.campaign.gov.uk/

Bank holiday weekends are always periods of enhanced demand for forces, so the public are also asked to be mindful that Lancashire Constabulary phone lines will likely be extra busy. Please help call operators out by only calling 999 if there is a genuine emergency. Otherwise, you can contact the police on 101 or report online.
