Rural crime, road safety and drug dealing remain the three priorities for Daventry's police team through to March 2027. We back up that work with yard guarding, rural patrols and monitored cameras for local businesses.
Trusted Protection in Daventry
Northamptonshire Police has kept the same priorities for Daventry from April 2026 into the period ending March 2027: rural crime, road safety and road traffic offences, and drug dealing and misuse. Two of these matter directly to businesses. Farms and outlying premises need protection against theft, and drug activity can bring problems to car parks and quiet estates. Our patrols, CCTV towers and alarm response are designed for both.
Daventry Business Profile
There are 20 security workers in our network within 10 miles of Daventry. Five are SIA-licensed and active for bookings, and five have their own car for patrols. We supplement them from the wider network for bigger contracts. All have been vetted under BS 7858, they are paid through PAYE, and every visit is time-stamped by GPS with a digital report.
West Northamptonshire has 19,450 registered businesses. Construction leads with 3,085, then professional services with 2,830 and transport and logistics with 1,670. Logistics is 8.6% of firms, double the British rate, so distribution sites such as Prologis Apex Park and Long March Industrial Estate need gatehouse control and warehouse guarding. Motor traders, at 3.7%, benefit from forecourt CCTV towers.
Daventry Town Football Club, Bragborough Hall and Skylark Country Venue host events near the town, alongside The Arc Cinema. Once Martyn's Law takes effect, venues for 200 or more people will have new duties, and we can staff events with stewards. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
