You said, we did- local policing priorities in Kettering


Here’s a round-up of recent activity by our neighbourhood officers to address local policing priorities and tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in Kettering and surrounding towns and villages.

 

Dear Resident

 

Between November 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, the three local priorities set for the areas covered by the Kettering Neighbourhood Policing Team were road safety and traffic matters, drug dealing and misuse, and burglary. 

 

These priorities have been the focus of much of the neighbourhood team’s work over the last six months, working in partnership with the local authority, parish and town councils, housing agencies and other partners. Below is an update about some of the work we have been doing to tackle them:

 

Road safety & traffic matters

  • Neighbourhood officers completed several speed enforcement patrols in the areas highlighted by the community as being areas of concern. Warning letters and fixed penalty notices were issued as appropriate for speeding offences
  • Sixteen vehicles were seized as a result of motoring offences such as having no insurance or MOT
  • Fifteen arrests were made for offences such as drink and drug driving
  • Fifty fixed penalty notices for offences such as speeding and poor driving standards were issued
  • Working alongside both the local council and school staff, we have carried out numerous parking patrols outside local schools, issuing tickets to offending vehicles

     

  • Drug dealing & drug misuse

  • Numerous drug warrants were conducted following information received from the community. This includes the dismantling of cannabis factories located within the town
  • Forty four people were arrested in relation drugs offences, many as a result of information from the community
  • Regular cuckooing checks continue to be carried out at the addresses of those identified as being vulnerable to exploitation by drug dealers

     

  • Burglary

  • Neighbourhood officers continued to visit the area of every domestic burglary and have supported vulnerable victims. They have worked with other agencies to give security advice, and have patrolled the areas around burglary locations to prevent further offences
  • Officers have attended regular community engagement events across the town and rural wards
