The Armed Forces Covenant

Northamptonshire Police is proud to support the UK’s military community. On January 31, 2023, the force's Chief Constable Nick Adderley re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant, a pledge to treat service personnel and their families with fairness and respect.

Written into law, the covenant states that Armed Forces personnel, veterans or their families will not be disadvantaged by their military life when accessing goods and services, compared to other citizens. It also recognises that in some circumstances special treatment may be appropriate, especially for the injured or bereaved.

The force first signed the covenant in 2017, and in October 2022 was awarded the Armed Forces Covenant Silver Award. In signing the covenant, we have pledged to publicise our commitment to its principles. You can read them below, and also submit feedback on how you think we are doing.
