PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts recently joined women from the Derby Pakistani Community Centre as part of the Constabulary’s ongoing community engagement and recruitment drive. 🚨🚓
PCSO Mia Lawson has been working with the female group to build upon the work that takes place in Derby, including more awareness of the variety of roles the police service has to offer.
It was an opportunity to inspire the next generation of volunteers, PCSO’s, police officers and police staff. By promoting a career in policing across all our communities, we can have more representation and help better serve all members of the public.
