Meet the Commissioner
Angelique Foster has been a key figure in local government politics for more than a decade.
Originally from France, Mrs Foster has lived in Derbyshire for 25 years and is married with a grown-up family.
With a Masters Degree in Law from Sheffield University, Mrs Foster has served as Leader of Dronfield Town Council and as Cabinet member for Corporate Services at Derbyshire County Council. Her portfolio includes: Finance, Legal, Property, HR and IT, and responsibility for managing a budget of £46million.
Mrs Foster recently resigned from her role to take on her new responsibilities as Derbyshire’s PCC and is determined to manage the budget effectively to maximise resources for fighting crime.
She has pledged to put the law-abiding citizen at the centre of all policing policies and priorities in Derbyshire to keep local people and their families safe.
Central to her ambitions is reducing the fear of crime across Derbyshire’s communities by increasing police numbers and patrols, providing a strong police presence in towns and villages and supporting Police Officers in the use of powers such as Stop and Search to protect communities from crime.
She also aims to work with the Government to deliver a tougher approach to policing, strengthen partnership work locally to improve safety, tackle antisocial behaviour, drive down burglaries, robberies and theft, improve road safety, fight rural crime and address domestic violence and drug-related crime.

Investing £4 million into the Constabulary's contact centre will help to improve the way crime is dealt with. There will also be an estimated annual investment of £1.1 million for the next ten years which will deliver enhanced technology, increased staffing within the control room and upgrades to the police estate.
Through recruitment and additional training, there will be increased capacity to support operators which will help deal with increase demand. There have also been improvements to online reporting by offering additional categories which is helping to deal with issues more quickly.
I am determined to put resources in place to improve the 101-reporting system as it is vital that residents feel confident when reporting crime and that it will be dealt with efficiently.
Stop and Search is an important tool available to police officers and plays a vital part in protecting communities and keeping Derbyshire residents safe.
I support the force in their effort to seize more weapons and drugs, arrest more suspects and save lives.
Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Angelique Foster has announced plans to develop a new policing base to serve the communities of Clay Cross.
Commissioner Angelique Foster said: “I know that these plans will be welcomed by our communities in Clay Cross, they fulfil my commitment to delivering strong and visible policing in the heart of the town.
“Following discussions with the Chief Constable, we found that the Clay Cross Police Station is in poor condition and no longer suitable for its operational purpose. We are both keen to retain a strong local police presence in the Clay Cross area as the operational business case show that there is a clear need.
“I am grateful to our partners, North East Derbyshire District Council, for their support in reaching this agreement. It is important to both organisations that our communities are served by police officers who are not only accessible to residents but able to operate effectively and efficiently to tackle their priorities.”
The new SNT base, which is subject to planning approval, will replace the town’s existing Police Station in Pilsley Road which is in a poor condition and has become unfit for purpose.
