Crick and Long Buckby — Neighbourhood Policing Team

The new priorities for this period (April 2026 to September 2026) are: • Rural crime • Road safety and road traffic offences • Drug dealing and drug misuse

Our priorities are set for a six month period and reviewed every three months to ensure we continue to deal with what matters most to local people, taking account of feedback shared in our local priorities survey and local crime data.
