Working in company with the Safer Community Teams, the invaluable input we receive from the Neighbourhood Watch and other Community Watch Groups can help reduce these figures even more.

We are constantly working towards increasing public awareness of how important a tool the Community Messaging System is. On that note, both the Police and their Partners would like to say thank you for all the time and effort offered in helping to make the system work in the fight against crime.

If you think that information on any incident may be important or relevant enough or should you see anything suspicious, the police will always be pleased to receive your calls or email on wbcommunitymessaging [at] northants [dot] police [dot] uk.
