Your Neighbourhood Policing Team
Your local policing team is made up of dedicated neighbourhood officers and community support officers based in your community, supported by additional police officers from the wider area.
We work closely with local authorities, partner agencies, community leaders and residents to decide our policing priorities for your local area. By working together we aim to find solutions to long-standing local problems while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across Northamptonshire.
If you'd like to find out more about crime and policing activity in your community, sign up for Northamptonshire Talking and get updates direct to your inbox from your local neighbourhood team, as well as other policing news. You can also reply directly to your neighbourhood officers and have your say on local policing priorities.
