What happens when I sign up?
Signing up to Northamptonshire Talking is free, quick and simple. You'll be given the option of what you want to receive messages about and who from.
You can also choose to have your messages translated into another language, and we'll invite you to tell us whether you have any CCTV or doorbell camera equipment that could help us with a crime investigation should an incident happen locally. You’ll also be invited to completed a short survey to help us identify local policing priorities.
It's simple to use and you'll only receive messages about topics that you've selected. You can change your preferences or stop receiving messages at any time.
What sort of messages will I receive?
The types of messages you receive depends on the categories you select.
For example, if you choose 'Farm and Rural Watch' as an area of interest, we'll send you information relevant to this area. You can pick multiple areas of interest, such as business, vehicles, animals and more, as well as different areas of the county - the choice is yours!
Messages are posted directly by Northamptonshire Police, the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner and other partner organisations, to keep you informed about what is happening in your area, helping us to work together to make Northamptonshire safer.
