Nov 10th 2025 – The Forcer Protocol – Safeguarding for Military Veterans
 |
| The Forcer Protocol |
| Northamptonshire Police is encouraging military veterans and their families to sign up to a potentially life-saving safeguarding scheme called the Forcer Protocol. The Forcer Protocol was founded by Claire Lilly and is named after her former husband Lance Corporal Alan Forcer, a veteran who suffered with depression and complex post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following service in Kosovo and Northern Ireland. Tragically he died by suicide in 2020 after going missing. The Forcer Protocol enables police to ensure key information is available to them when searching for military veterans who are lost or reported missing. The service is free and run independently from police with the provider Safe and Found Online. Veterans, their families and carers can complete an online form and provide a variety of information which is held digitally on a secure platform, including photographs, a physical description, any medical conditions, mobile phone numbers of the veteran and friends, vehicle details, whether they have gone missing before, and whether they pose a risk to themselves. The information entered into the personal profile is completely confidential. Police can only access the profile, if the person featured is reported missing. Register now on the Forcer Protocol pages of the Safe and Found website: safeandfoundonline.co.uk/register.php . |

If you’re thinking about changing your pension arrangements, you should get financial guidance or advice beforehand. Investment opportunities: don’t be rushed into making an investment. Remember, legitimate organisations will never pressure you into investing on the spot. You should treat investment opportunities with extreme caution if there’s: Pressure to invest (for example: time-limited offers), Downplayed risk of losing your money, Promised returns that sound too good to be true, Remember to Stop! Think Fraud and find more information on how to protect yourself from fraud here: Stop! Think Fraud – How to stay safe from scams What can you do if you have been a victim of pension fraud?
