This Pride Month, the OPCC is shining a light on the support available for LGBTQ+ individuals across Derbyshire.
Derbyshire Victim Services offers free, confidential support to anyone affected by hate crime, harassment, or other incidents – whether or not these have been reported to the police.
Through the Safer and Stronger Communities Fund, the OPCC has supported Derbyshire LGBT+ to deliver vital work, including:
📚 Raising awareness of hate crime through training in schools and colleges across the county
👥 Providing expert guidance to help staff recognise and respond to hate-related incidents
📝 Offering third-party reporting routes, giving people a safe and accessible way to report incidents and seek support
Together, these initiatives are helping to build safer, more inclusive communities and improve access to support for those who need it most.

Police have seized more than 800 e scooters across Derbyshire as part of ongoing work to tackle illegal use and protect public safety.
You can own an e scooter – but unless you are using it on private land with permission, riding it in public is illegal and could cost you more than you think.
Police have powers under the Road Traffic Act 1988 and Police Reform Act 2002 to seize vehicles that are unlicensed, uninsured, or causing alarm or nuisance.
You could face fines, points on your licence, or prosecution, and parents or guardians of under 18s may also be held responsible.
PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts is continuing to act nationally and locally, including:
🏛️ Lobbying Government Ministers and working with enforcement bodies to strengthen guidance
⚖️ Challenging retailers who mislead consumers
📢 Funding targeted awareness campaigns, including a ‘Know Your Rights’ video for young people
🚫 Installing over 200 “No E Scooter” signs in hotspot areas
🛍️ Engaging retailers to promote responsible sales
