About Policing in Woodford Halse
Policing in Woodford Halse & the surrounding area is provided by Northamptonshire Police. Our area is known as “Daventry Rural”.

Our PCSO works with the public, community groups, police officers, special constables and partners in other local authorities and voluntary groups, to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.
