"Witnesses in criminal court cases in Lincolnshire can now be sent a text message when they are due to appear in court.

The XHIBIT IT system is being introduced at Lincoln Combined court can reduce the time witnesses of crime spend waiting in court to give evidence.

The technology saves time for witnesses including police officers, meaning they attend court only when they are needed. It could save 80,000 police days every year and mean more policing on the streets."
