Current priorities

1 Shop theft in Clay Cross Town Centre. 2 Parking and Road Safety around Schools in Clay Cross and Holmegate. 3 Drugs around Holmegate and Clay Cross Centre.

1. High Vis and plain clothes patrols, Crime prevention stalls and events. Working with Retail Premises to identify and prosecute Offenders. 2. We will liaise with schools to be at locations at specific times to ensure the public adhere to road markings and to highlight dangerous parking locations. Identify and deal with Offender by way of tickets or advice, in association with Civil Enforcement Officers. Utilise Community Catch ups and Social Media to inform drivers of the situation. 3. We will carry out high visibility patrols in the area, talking to members of the Public to identify offenders, utilising Derbyshire Alert and Community Catch ups.
