Inspector Nick Lyall said: “We had great feedback from the crowds that came along in 2011 and we’ll be adding even more attractions to last year’s favourites so it’s certainly a date for people to put in their diaries.”
“This free event is a fantastic opportunity to find out more about the work of Northamptonshire Police. We are currently planning a host of exciting demonstrations and scenarios to make sure everyone coming along will be guaranteed to have a fun-packed day and to learn about the many aspects of policing.”
