Community Open Days
Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, along with the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, Danielle Stone, and partners, are inviting you to join us at one of our Community Open Days this July!
Come along and meet your local emergency service personnel as they demonstrate what they do on a daily basis to keep the community safe.
Climb onboard our Joint Command Unit, get an up close look at the police operational kit, and see some of our police dogs in action - with a chance to meet PD Socks and PD Bonnie!
Whether you're interested in joining the emergency services or just want to find out more about what we do, there's something for everyone at our Community Open Days, so come along to your closest event.
We are holding two open days, one in the north of the county and one in the west:
- Saturday, July 19, 2025, 11am to 4pm - Wicksteed Park
- Sunday, July 27, 2025, 11am to 4pm - Delapre Abbey
Further information will be announced closer to the time.
Please note, some displays will be subject to operational demand on the day.
Let us know you're coming on Facebook!
