The force has round the clock armed response vehicles manned by Roads Policing Officers (RPU). Front line officers in Lincolnshire also carry Taser electronic incapacitating devices. These use electricity to cause neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) to render subjects incapable of free bodily movement for a short period of time whilst the device is operating. Taser is carried in addition to PAVA incapacitant spray. Officers previously used CS spray, however this was removed from service due to it being flammable (if used in conjunction with a Taser it could set alight). PAVA is a non flammable spray liquid.
