Our force
Covering 914 square miles and policing a diverse population of over 802,000, Northamptonshire Police employ over 1,500 police officers across the county. We receive, on average, 880 calls a day and at least 60 online reports daily, and have recorded upwards of 60,000 crimes over the past year.
Despite this, we recognise there are a number of crime rates that pose a challenge to the force and the people of Northamptonshire. We’re committed to cracking down on these crimes and making a positive difference within our communities.
Many of our communities live in urban areas, including a vast number of university students, and we see many more travel through and visit the area on roads such as the M1 and A14.
As a force, we face many unique challenges. From urban versus rural communities, to policing one of the biggest sporting events in the country - the British Grand Prix - we strive to deliver a high-quality service to the public no matter what the challenge.
Both on the front-line and behind the scenes, we have a wealth of experience and knowledge to protect people and fight crime. We want our communities to feel safe and supported, so whether you call 999, 101, or visit a public enquiry desk, we are committed to providing an outstanding police service, and creating a safer county for all those that come to Northamptonshire.
