Northamptonshire’s Arson Task Force (ATF) was established in 2004 and is a partnership between Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS).
Over the years we have created a network of partners that allow us to deliver our objectives and remain citizen-focused. By doing this we can contribute to the NFRS four arson reduction strategic objectives:
- Prevention
- Education
- Investigation
- Detection
These areas of work will address the needs of our communities and will support key aspects of the current Police and Fire Crime Commissioner’s (PFCC) Policing and Fire Service Plan. The plan includes emphasis on reducing Anti-Social Behaviour, arson related violence, protecting the public, supporting vulnerable people, working with young offenders and reacting appropriately to domestic violence and hate-related crime and incidents. In essence, our work is very much focussed on the PFCC’s vision of making Northamptonshire the safest county in the country.
Over the past sixteen years we have developed a partnership approach linking in with many agencies to ensure the goals and objectives of the fire and police service are met together with the goals and objectives of our partner agencies.
If you are a parent, professional or young person who has worked with us around fire setting, we would be grateful if you could provide feedback by completing the evaluation forms below. This will help us listen to your views and improve our service to others.
