Current priorities
1 - Anti social behaviour (ASB), including anti-social vehicle use. 2 - Serious acquisitive crime.
1 - Anti Social Behaviour (ASB), including anti-social vehicle use: Conduct high visibility patrols. Work with the Youth Engagement Team to prevent offending and tackle ASB at source. Work with partners to tackle anti social behaviour. Engage with young people through school engagements, raising awareness of anti social behaviour. Conduct road safety operations, working with specialist units such as Roads Policing where needed. Gather feedback from and work with the local community. 2 - Serious Acquisitive Crime: Continue high visibility and plain clothes patrols in hotspot areas. Share crime prevention advice through social media, community events and Derbyshire Alert. Promote security measures such as tool marking, steering locks and CCTV. Work with partners including local authorities, bordering police forces and national policing teams.
