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.

Action taken:
In December, we set 2 local priorities – Drug dealing/misuse and Burglary. These were based on what local people told us concerned them most in their neighbourhood, as well as local crime statistics and information from our partners (such as the local council).
These priorities have been the focus of some of our work over the last four months and below is an update about some of the work the local Neighbourhood team has been doing to tackle them.
Burglary
We’ve completed several crime prevention events in the local community.
14 offenders identified
25 offences detected.
Residential Burglary offences have dropped 38% in the period between Dec ‘23 and March ’24
We continue to visit the area of every domestic burglary and have supported vulnerable victims, working with other agencies to give security advice and have also patrolled the areas around burglary locations to prevent further offences.
Drug dealing/misuse
Following information received from the community, we have dealt with 55 drug-related offences and have also conducted numerous drug warrants in the area following intelligence being received by the community.
Neighbourhood officers have been out in the community and conducted 60+ stop searches.
Numerous cannabis factories have been located and dismantled within Wellingborough and related area’s.
Victims of exploitation and modern day slavery have been safeguarded.
We continue to carry out regular cuckooing checks at the addresses of those identified as being vulnerable to being exploited by drug dealers.
