About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

    Actioned 25 September 2026

  • Priority:

    Previous priorities (April 2026 to September 2026) are:
    • Burglary
    • Road safety and road traffic offences
    • Drug dealing and drug misuse

    Issued 25 September 2026

    Action taken:

    Here's an update on our work to tackle local priorities from April to June 2026:

    Burglary
    • During April, a number of town centre businesses were targeted by burglars. Through a combination of CCTV enquiries and facial recognition technology, officers were able to link the majority of these offences to a single suspect. The offender was identified, arrested and remanded into custody.
    • Neighbourhood officers continue to support specialist burglary investigators by carrying out house-to-house enquiries, conducting leaflet drops and providing crime prevention advice to residents and businesses.

    Road safety and road traffic offences
    • Neighbourhood officers have been supporting colleagues from Corby as part of Operation Tides, an initiative aimed at tackling the illegal use of e-scooters. During the operation, more than 80 e-scooters were seized.
    • Following reports of anti-social behaviour involving off-road motorcycles in Desborough, officers carried out a dedicated week of action in the area. This resulted in three motorcycles being seized and one man being reported for a number of road traffic offences.
    • Officers have also conducted speed enforcement activity at various locations across Kettering, resulting in a number of motorists being reported for speeding offences.

    Drug dealing and drug misuse
    • Officers executed three warrants at addresses across the area, leading to the discovery and closure of three cannabis cultivation sites. Three men were arrested and subsequently remanded into custody.
    • The team also targeted a vehicle known to be linked to suspected drug related activity. The vehicle failed to stop for police, resulting in a pursuit which was safely brought to a conclusion. The driver was arrested on suspicion of road traffic offences and possession of cocaine.
    • During high visibility patrols in a priority area, officers encountered a man who was openly smoking cannabis outside his home address. Subsequent searches of the individual and the property led to the seizure of a significant quantity of suspected drugs and cash. The investigation remains ongoing.
    • Neighbourhood officers have also continued to carry out regular safeguarding visits to addresses where occupants have been identified as vulnerable to exploitation by drug dealers (cuckooing).
