The Wellingborough Town Neighbourhood Policing Team is holding two community sessions in February 2026 to allow residents in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, to speak directly with officers about local issues. These drop-in meetings are designed to help neighbours report problems and get safety advice without needing to book an appointment in advance.
Officers will be available at Finedon Library on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, from 10:00 to 12:00. A second session is planned for Friday, February 20, 2026, at The Square in Earls Barton, where the team will be present between 14:00 and 16:00.
According to the Wellingborough North Neighbourhood Policing Team, current efforts are focused on tackling vehicle crime, burglary, and road safety. Inspector Miriam Kiernan leads the team and encourages residents to use these face-to-face meetings to share information that can help solve neighbourhood problems.
The initiative is part of a wider plan by Danielle Stone, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, to make policing more visible across the county. This follows the 2025 appointment of Chief Constable Ivan Balhatchet, who has focused on creating community hubs to improve public confidence.
Data from CrimeRate shows that crime in the area remained above the national average throughout 2025. These sessions provide a way for the force to gather local details on specific issues to help improve safety in the town and surrounding villages.
