Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone is asking for your views on her Police, Fire and Crime Plan, which sets the blueprint for policing and fire services in Northamptonshire, and on the funding that will help police and fire deliver these priorities.

The Police, Fire and Crime Plan (public safety plan)

A new plan has been developed to set out priorities for how police and fire services keep our communities safe. This followed significant engagement across the county that we have called the ‘Big Conversation’ and sets out three missions:
- Visible and Accessible Community Services;
- Professionalism and Standards;
- Stronger Public Safety Partnerships

Funding and the precept

Funding for your police and fire services is made up of the precept and central government grants. The precept is the amount of your council tax that goes towards police and fire – that currently amounts to around 18% of your annual council tax bill.

The Consultation

The priorities set out in the Plan and the funding to deliver them are intrinsically linked so we are asking for your views both on the priorities set out in the strategic plan and how much extra you would consider paying for these priorities to be delivered.

Those views will be considered before the Commissioner finalises the Plan and takes her proposals on the level of council tax precepts to Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Panel in February 2025.

The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete and closes at 11.59pm on Sunday 5 January 2025.
