Derbyshire has secured a prestigious national award for the outstanding quality of its Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) scheme.
The scheme, managed by Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts, has received a ‘platinum’ award – the highest possible grade in the Independent Custody Visiting Association’s (ICVA) Quality Assurance Framework.
The accolade positions Derbyshire among the best performing ICV schemes in the country and fulfils a key promise by the PCC who vowed shortly after her election in 2024 to push for ‘platinum’ status.
Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) perform vital scrutiny duties on behalf of the PCC, conducting unannounced visits to police custody suites to speak to detainees to check they are being treated fairly and that their entitlements are being met.
They also inspect the conditions of cells and custody accommodation to ensure they meet standards and review custody records to ensure staff are complying with their responsibilities, especially in relation to those who are young or vulnerable.
Issues are raised in electronic reports sent to the PCC’s office for action.
To achieve ‘platinum’ status, ICV schemes must meet more than 25 rigorous criteria, demonstrating an outstanding standard of service that goes above and beyond basic custody visiting and volunteer management requirements. They must also be formally assessed and verified by ICVA leadership to ensure they are performing at an exceptional level.

As we reach the business end of the World Cup, our pubs and bars are buzzing with fans watching every kick, tackle and penalty.
The atmosphere is incredible. But with bigger crowds and later nights, means there are more people in the night-time economy, increasing the risks linked with drug dealing and substance misuse, especially for young people.
That’s why we are promoting the work of Pubwatch across Derby and Derbyshire to keep the night enjoyable for all. Pubwatch venues are taking a united, zero tolerance approach: trained staff, shared intelligence, and network wide bans for anyone dealing or using drugs.
With packed venues and high stakes games, it’s more important than ever to look out for your mates, report anything that doesn’t feel right, and challenge the culture that treats drug use as “part of a big night out”.
Enjoy the football, celebrate responsibly, and help us make sure the only drama this World Cup is on the pitch.

Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts spent a fantastic day engaging with communities at the Derbyshire County Show in Elvaston, South Derbyshire.
💬 Nicolle caught up with local residents, partners, and vital community organisations, including the Derbyshire Women's Institute and local fostering services, to discuss key safety priorities across the county.
The OPCC stall provided a great opportunity to chat about the Commissioner's work and gather crucial public feedback through the ongoing 'Listening to You' and Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) surveys.
🚜 Hearing from rural communities remains a top priority. Nicolle spoke directly with residents about the specific issues impacting the countryside, from tool and machinery theft to fraud and staying safe in remote areas.
The Derbyshire Rural Crime Team was also out in full force. Officers provided essential advice on crimes affecting rural areas, focusing heavily on livestock worrying and the devastating impact it has on local farmers.
👏 Thank you to everyone who stopped by to share their views and help shape a safer Derbyshire.
