Do you know what services are offered at Northamptonshire Police Front Counters?
One of the police front counters that are available in the county
Based in six locations across the county, the friendly staff are there to help with a multitude of enquiries writes Tanya Brannan, Enquiry Desk Supervisor.
There are Front Counters in Wellingborough, Weston Favell and Daventry, which are all based in the Police station. Kettering, Corby and Northampton front counters are located within the town council buildings.
At Police front counters, you can get advice, report incidents, surrender old knives, enquire about property and report traffic collisions amongst other things. The professional, knowledgeable staff are able to talk through your issues and point you in the right direction if it is not a police matter.
Each base also specialises in a particular issue. For example at Kettering and Northampton you can attend to get a seized vehicle released. At the three Police stations you can get an appointment to have your fingerprints taken for visa, work and adoption purposes. Several of the desks can take in firearms that are no longer required. All of the desks can advise you which station can assist with your specific needs.
The six desks have a wealth of information about some amazing schemes such as Neighbourhood Alert, The Blue Butterfly, Herbert Protocol and Keep Safe which aim to help protect the vulnerable, young and elderly alike. Combine all this with years of training and knowledge, and they are there to help their communities however they can.
The desks all have a variety of opening hours and days which you can find on the Northamptonshire Police website, www.northants.police.uk or by calling 101.
