You can also respond to messages to ask questions or give feedback to your local policing team.

We also offer you the opportunity to choose the type of messages you wish to receive.

We would really like to hear from you so why not ask your family, friends and colleagues to register too? Let’s get talking!

Please note that this service is not for reporting crimes or incidents – to make a report please contact Northamptonshire Police via the Home | Northamptonshire Police (northants.police.uk) or alternatively by dialling 101.
