Policing where you live
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 longstanding local problems while maintaining our wider focus on reducing crime across Northamptonshire.
You can contact your local team by email or follow them on Twitter and Facebook. You can also get updates about what’s happening in your area by signing up for our Neighbourhood Alert community messaging system.

Matters of Priority
Northamptonshire Police is committed to tackling the crimes that cause the biggest threat and risk to people. In May 2022, Chief Constable Nick Adderley launched our Matters of Priority campaign, which highlights the four biggest crime challenges the Force will focus on for a three-year period.
These are:
- Violence against women and girls
- Drug harm
- Serious and organised crime
- Serious violence
We understand these issues are complex. But over the next three years, we’re committed to making them our priority. We will invest extra resources. We will create fresh approaches. And we will work closely with all our communities to make the most positive difference we can.

We have various job opportunities for anyone interested in joining us as a police officer or staff member.
