Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr Fatima Eltinay recently visited McArthurGlen East Midlands Designer Outlet in South Normanton to meet with centre representatives and discuss how partners can work together to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.
🤝 Discussions focused on tackling issues such as shoplifting and ASB, strengthening partnership working between retailers, the centre and local policing teams, and improving the reporting of crime to ensure incidents are captured and responded to effectively.
🛡️ Members of the OPCC’s Business Crime Reduction Partnership (BCRP) team were also present, highlighting the support available to help retailers work collectively across Derbyshire to prevent and respond to business crime.
The visit also explored opportunities to work with partners on diversionary activities for young people in South Normanton and surrounding communities, alongside engaging with neighbouring businesses to understand shared challenges.
There was agreement to continue positive discussions with McArthurGlen to build strong relationships with the centre and local police, raise awareness of support services for victims of crime, and strengthen joint efforts to keep businesses, staff and shoppers safe.

Deputy PCC Dr Fatima Eltinay visited Chesterfield Hospital to meet with colleagues from Derbyshire Support and Facilities Services (DSFS), including Security Advisor Ged Holland. They were also joined by Lisa Blackwell from the Emergency Department and Jamie Moxon from the Safeguarding Team.
During the visit, Fatima listened to the team’s experiences and insights around the key challenges they face day‑to‑day — particularly around managing abusive, violent, or threatening behaviour towards staff.
The discussion focused on:
✅ How current pressures impact staff safety
✅ Opportunities to improve responses and prevention
✅ Ways partner agencies can better support and protect front‑line workers
A huge thank you to the DSFS team and hospital colleagues for their openness, professionalism, and ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe environment for patients, visitors, and staff.

Dr Fatima Eltinay, Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire, was delighted to attend the Vaisakhi festival and parade in Derby. 🎉
Vaisakhi is a significant celebration in the Sikh faith, celebrating values of service, equality and community. The event was a great opportunity to meet local residents, learn more about Sikh traditions and join in a vibrant celebration that brought people together from across Derby.
Community events like Vaisakhi highlight the strength of Derbyshire’s diversity and the importance of coming together, building understanding and celebrating the shared values that unite us all. 🤝
