Northamptonshire Police in Irthlingborough and Raunds has kept the same three priorities for October 2026 to March 2027: drug dealing and misuse, road safety, and anti-social nuisance motorcycles. Our patrols and cameras help local businesses keep their own land clear of all three.
Trusted Protection in Raunds
Nuisance motorcycles and drug activity often show up first on private land: an empty car park, the back of an industrial unit, an unlit service road. In Raunds, the neighbourhood team has carried those concerns over into a second six-month period. Businesses can help by keeping their sites well lit, watched and visited. Monitored CCTV records what happens, mobile patrols at irregular times disrupt gatherings, and our GPS-logged reports give police a dated account if they need one.
Raunds Business Profile
North Northamptonshire has 14,885 registered businesses, and the leading sector is unusual: leisure and entertainment with 2,275, or 15.3% against 7.2% nationally. Construction follows closely on 2,220 and professional services on 1,700. Transport and logistics, at 7.9% compared with 4.3%, is the other standout, and Warth Park is the sort of distribution site where gatehouse control and yard guarding are routine.
Five registered security workers in our network live within ten miles of Raunds. They are supported by colleagues from across Northamptonshire when a contract needs more people, for example stewarding a large event. Every officer is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and each shift is tracked by GPS through our round-the-clock control room.
Raunds Town Football Club and Stanwick Hall are the two named venues nearby. Matches or functions there for 200 or more people will be covered by Martyn's Law from spring 2027, and leisure is a big local sector. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
