Police force open day on Saturday 30th
Northamptonshire Police is preparing to dispel the myths and mysteries around its work by holding an open day.
The open day will take place on Saturday 30 July, from 11am to 4pm, at Wootton Hall Park. The free event is an opportunity to find out more about the work of Northamptonshire Police and will include live demonstrations from the police dogs, firearms and petrol bombing teams.
There will also be several stands and displays offering free bicycle security marking, crime prevention information, help with internet security, an insight into a day in the life of the force control room, Taser demonstrations and much more.
Visitors will also be able to meet their local officers and see the police helicopter in action. For the aspiring young detective, special mission packs will be handed out to complete. There will also be face painting, a bouncy castle, live music and refreshments available to buy.
The time-table for the day is:
11am: Official opening
11.30am: Petrol bombing demo on public order site
12.00pm: Armed response vehicle and dogs demo in central arena

Superintendent Richard James said: “The open day is the perfect opportunity to come along and see the work of Northamptonshire Police in action. We have planned the day to include something for all ages so would encourage people to bring along their family and friends. To see all the stands and displays we would recommend a two-hour visit time, arriving for 11am, 12pm or 1pm as the live demonstrations will be repeated throughout the day.”
