Northamptonshire Police has introduced a new model to increase focus on local communities.
The North LPA: DCI Andy Rogers, Ch Supt Mick Stamper, Supt Dennis Murray and PFCC Stephen Mold
The new policing model creates two Local Policing Areas (LPAs) covering the West and the North of the county. It gives people a named senior officer responsible for policing and tackling crime in their area.
Chief Superintendent Mick Stamper has overall responsibility for the local policing command and is supported by Supt Chris Hillery, who is responsible for the West LPA and Supt Dennis Murray, who is responsible for the North LPA. They are each supported by a chief inspector overseeing response and neighbourhood policing and a detective chief inspector heading the area-based CID.
Each area also has a dedicated team that works across the area to focus on specific issues and crimes.
The West LPA covers Northampton, Daventry and South Northamptonshire and the North LPA covers Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and East Northamptonshire.
Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold said: “I am confident that the move to two policing areas will be a change for the better that will bring an even greater local focus, with a local response to local concerns.
“This change is part of the Chief Constable’s plans to reshape the Force and I share his drive to make sure that police are visible and accessible in the communities they serve and can respond effectively. I’m looking forward to seeing how this new model will deliver an even better service to the public.”
