Who we are and what we do

 

Who We Are

Northamptonshire’s Arson Task Force (ATF) was established in 2004 and is a partnership between Northamptonshire Police and Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS).

Kelly Crockett – Arson Reduction Coordinator – Northamptonshire Police.

Kelly comes from a Safeguarding and Education background working within Northamptonshire Children’s Social Care and the OPFCC Early Intervention Team.

Andy Evans – Arson Reduction Coordinator – Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service.

Andy was previously a Firefighter for 20 years and the Youth Engagement Officer for Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service.

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

What We Do

The ATF have 3 key priorities:

• Safer homes
• Safer neighbourhoods
• Safer buildings and businesses

These areas support key aspects of the current Police and Fire Crime Plan to make Northamptonshire safe.

This includes:

• Reducing Anti-Social Behaviour and Arson related violence
• Protecting the public
• Supporting vulnerable people
• Working with children, young people and adults involved in fire setting behaviours
• Reacting appropriately to high-risk domestic violence incidents and hate-related crime
