Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr. Fatima Eltinay attended the Long Eaton Emergency Services Day, joining Derbyshire Rural Crime Team, CREST, Derbyshire Neighbourhood Watch and a wide range of community partners who work tirelessly to keep Derbyshire safe.
Throughout the day, Fatima met with local residents and discussed a range of issues that matter most to local people, from issues around rural crime to promoting community confidence. These conversations play an important role in shaping local priorities and ensuring communities feel heard and supported.
The event also showcased the dedication and professionalism of Derbyshire’s emergency services, highlighting how strong partnership working helps build safer and stronger neighbourhoods across our county.
It was a fantastic day celebrating those who protect and serve our communities, and it was great to see so many people in attendance.

Scammers often spend weeks or months building trust, only to later manipulate victims emotionally or financially. Learn the signs and how to stay safe online.
Key signs to watch for include:
💸 Requests for money – often framed as emergencies or unexpected crises
🎭 Emotional or dramatic backstories that shift or become inconsistent
🤐 Pressure to keep the relationship secret, suggesting others “won’t understand”
💘 Fast paced declarations of love or commitment before meeting in person
🎥 Excuses to avoid video calls or face to face meetings, despite regular messaging
You may see our graphic highlighting common scenarios where fraudsters ask for money. Staying aware of these tactics can help protect you and others.

A new safety project is underway to boost resilience in rural communities and help farmers to protect their livelihoods and mental health.
As part of her commitment to supporting rural communities, Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts provided funding worth £5k from her Safer and Stronger Communities Fund to The Farming Life Centre in Bakewell to deliver the Safe and Sound project across the High Peak area.
The investment will see a series of practical workshops, public awareness campaigns and peer-led support initiatives focusing on security audits, livestock protection, firearms awareness and mental health championing to strengthen the safety, wellbeing and resilience of farmers and residents.
So far, 200 leaflets about the scheme have been printed and are in the process of being distributed at local agricultural markets, community meeting places and through the organisation’s website.
