Safe and Sound: The Public Safety Plan for Northamptonshire 2025-2030

A New Mission for Public Safety in Northamptonshire. The Plan is framed around three missions that span the Commissioner’s responsibilities across policing, fire and rescue, community safety and criminal justice. It is a strategy and reporting framework that will help us work in partnership to best serve victims and communities across Northamptonshire.

Safe and Sound is Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone’s public safety plan, which Danielle Stone sets out the strategic direction for police and fire services in Northamptonshire for the next five years.

 

The plan has one goal – to make Northamptonshire safe and sound.  It sets out three missions to achieve this:

Visible and accessible community services:

  • Rebuilding public trust and confidence
  • Increasing accessibility
  • Bringing police and fire staff out into the community
  • Putting prevention first

Professionalism and standards:

  • Setting the tone from the top
  • Making sure the workforce understands and reflects the community they serve
  • Putting values at the heart of everything we do
  • Providing a high-quality service and support

Strong partnerships:

  • Tackle problems with a multi-agency approach
  • Reduce reoffending
  • Invest in partnerships to reduce harm
  • Work collaboratively to support vulnerable people

The plan is based on a “big conversation” – focus groups and surveys that took place in communities across Northamptonshire to understand what people want and expect from their emergency services.  The Big Conversation told us that people just want to feel safe where they live, work and visit.

Safe and Sound is the strategic plan that will guide the work across Danielle’s areas of responsibility – policing, fire and rescue, community safety and criminal justice. It is a framework that will help us work in partnership to support victims and communities across the county.
