Derbyshire PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts was pleased to attend the Derbyshire Association of Local Councils Day at Pride Park in Derby to speak directly to parish and town councils about their local priorities.
Discussions focused on:
🔹 The vital role of PCSOs in neighbourhood policing
🔹 Tackling anti-social behaviour and speeding through partnership working
🔹 Funding opportunities to support grassroots community organisations
It was encouraging to hear that councils value the increased engagement from local policing teams—building stronger relationships with elected representatives to better serve our communities.
Together, we’re working to create a safer, more connected Derbyshire.

Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts and Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Fatima Eltinay recently joined Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) volunteers at the Ripley Custody Suite to observe their enhanced approach to custody monitoring.
While traditional ICV schemes involve brief interviews with detainees, here in Derbyshire, volunteers now spend extended time in custody, gaining a fuller understanding of detainee welfare and operational procedures.
During the visit, ICVs observed:
📝 Detainee booking and risk assessment
👮♂️ Staff-detainee interactions
🏥 Access to medical care and legal representation
🎥 Use of CCTV and safety protocols
🍽️ Cleanliness, food provision, and overall conditions
Nicolle and Fatima also took time to speak with the volunteers, learning more about their experiences and the vital role they play in ensuring transparency and accountability. The conversation offered valuable insights into how the Force is working to uphold high standards in custody care and respond to feedback from the community.
This innovative approach strengthens transparency, accountability, and public confidence in how custody is managed across the county.

Hate crime targets people for who they are—and it’s never acceptable.
Whether it’s verbal abuse, threats, damage to property, or online harassment, hate crime can have a lasting impact. It’s often motivated by prejudice based on race, religion, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.
If you’ve experienced or witnessed hate crime in Derbyshire, you’re not alone. Support is available.
📢 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝘁
You can report hate crime directly to the police by calling 999 in an emergency or 101 for non-emergencies. You can also report anonymously via Crimestoppers or Stop Hate UK.
