We will be out and about each day in Corby, and we will be on hand to listen to any concerns you have in your local community offering crime prevention advice.

Please stop us to have a chat and tell us if there any issues of concern in your local community.

Northamptonshire Police are also appealing to people in Corby and the surrounding area to be vigilant. If there is anyone acting suspicious or if there is something that is happening in the neighbourhood then please contact the police with your concerns 101 or 999.

A vast majority of people in the community refrain from carrying knives or get involved in knife crime.

Northamptonshire Police are committed to working with partner agencies and members of the public to prevent and tackle those that do. We want to help you make your community as safe as possible and for you to feel as safe as possible.

Please do get in touch, anonymously if you’d prefer, if you answer yes to any of the following questions.

Do you know someone who regularly carries a knife or weapon?

Does this frighten you or make you worried about the safety of you and your friends and family?

Have you got a knife or knives you want to get rid of?

Did you know you can surrender them to the police?

If you’d like to do this, please email your local team at the email address.

You can also provide confidential information should you wish to remain anonymous. These calls can be made to the Independent Charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555111

Can you please have a go at taking our survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/LocallyIdentifiedPriorities

We will also be available to receive any knives that people want to hand in.

If you do have a knife to surrender, please make the knife safe by putting paper/cardboard over the blade so that it shows intention of genuine wanting to hand it in.

The Amnesty Bin will be in an area near you.

Kind regards

Tony Greening
