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 Corby and surrounding villages. Dear Resident
Between November 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, the three local priorities set for the areas covered by the Corby Neighbourhood Policing Team were anti-social behaviour and motorcycle nuisance, road safety and traffic offences, and drug dealing and misuse.
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: Anti-social behaviour (ASB) and motorcycle nuisance A dedicated officer has been assigned to Operation Pacify, an initiative to tackle the anti-social riding of motorcyclesTwenty Op Pacify related investigations have taken place, with several arrests madeTwo stolen motorbikes have been recoveredNeighbourhood officers have responded to 39 calls for service in relation to ASB motorcycle nuisance and have investigated where appropriate.
