Current priorities
1. Cross-border Operations 2. Pro-active serious violence prevention 3. Public space anti-social behaviour
1. Cross-border Operations – focussed operations working with bordering forces including Nottinghamshire using intelligence and targeted policing. Designed to proactively identify and tackle individuals and vehicles committing drug related offences on Derbyshire. 2. Pro-active serious violence prevention – close working with schools and partners, the Youth Engagement Team will work to educate and deter young people from incidents with a threat of weapons use. Alongside this will be an increase in proactive patrols and the use of stop searches in open areas. 3. Public space anti-social behaviour – work to tackle an increase in nuisance behaviour reported as a result of warmer weather and sporting events. Officers will target key public spaces and hotspot areas with additional hi-vis patrols to deter ASB. Along with partners, officers will work to identify individuals involved and use the appropriate enforcement tools.
