In July, we set three local priorities for the Corby area and surrounding villages. These were road safety and road traffic offences, anti-social motorcycle nuisance, and drug dealing and drug misuse. These priorities were based on concerns raised by local residents, together with local crime data and information provided by partner agencies, such as the local council.

Road safety and road traffic offences
• We continue to carry out proactive patrols and enforcement activity across the Corby area to target road traffic and road safety offences including driving with no insurance, driving without a seatbelt, and drink and drug driving offences.
• Over this period, 39 people have been reported for summons relating to road traffic offences, 34 people have been charged with drink or drug driving impairment offences, and a further 20 disqualified drivers have been charged.
• We continue to work closely with partners to carry out parking patrols outside local schools.
Anti-social motorcycle nuisance
• We have continued our work with Operation Tides issuing a total of 67 vehicle tickets and seizing 80 e-scooters or e-bikes. We have also seized multiple motorcycles as part of this work.
• Additionally, we have issued multiple postal requisition charges for road traffic offences.
Drug dealing and drug misuse
• Officers have used stop and search powers on 20 occasions across the area, and we have also made 22 arrests for drug offences following community information.
• We have secured 10 out of court resolutions relating to drug possession, and a further seven people have been charged or reported for summons. Multiple cases remain open for further investigation.
• We have carried out regular checks at the addresses of those identified as being vulnerable to being exploited by drug dealers (cuckooing).
The new priorities for this period (October 2026 to March 2027) are:
• ASB motorcycle nuisance
• Road safety and road traffic offences
• Drug dealing and drug misuse
Our priorities are set for a six month period and reviewed every three months to ensure we continue to deal with what matters most to local people, taking account of feedback shared in our local priorities survey and local crime data.
