Introduction

Read on to find out more about the work of each of our divisions and specialist departments

Derbyshire Constabulary plays an important

role in fighting crime, protecting people and

promoting law and order in Derbyshire. We

do this 24 hours a day, every day.

Derbyshire is renowned for being hugely

diverse, encompassing the rural areas

of the Peak District as well as old mining

communities, modern towns and business

centres. It is also home to the vibrant and

culturally diverse city of Derby.

Policing in Derbyshire is divided into two

geographic areas known as divisions. Each

division is headed by a chief superintendent

- known as the divisional commander - who

is responsible for the overall policing of the

area.

Divisions are divided further into a

series of local policing units, led by an

inspector. Within each policing unit sit

our Safer Neighbourhood teams. Safer

Neighbourhoods is about police and

partners working with the public to identify

and deal with issues of concern in their

neighbourhood. These areas are patrolled

by police officers, special constables and

police community support officers (PCSOs).

Local policing is complemented by a

range of support units and departments

that operate across the force area. These

include the contact management centre

that answers 999 and non-emergency

telephone calls, our roads policing section,

dog section, National Police Air Service

(NPAS), criminal justice, crime investigation

and the forensic officers who work in our

scientific support unit.

North Division covers the areas of High

Peak, Derbyshire Dales, Chesterfield,

Bolsover, North East Derbyshire and

Amber Valley. The areas are extremely

diverse and are a mixture of rural and

urban. It is a vast area of the county of

Derbyshire bordering Greater Manchester

and South Yorkshire in the north, and East

Staffordshire in the south.

Our local policing units are headed by

an inspector who is responsible for the

day-to-day policing in that community.

Around 500 full-time equivalent police

officers, 70 police community support

officers and 100 special constables make

up our numbers.

Partnership working is very important to

us; the police alone cannot tackle all the

issues which can threaten the safety of

individuals and communities.

Officers in Chesterfield were the first in-

force to trial body worn video devices to

help them record crimes and incidents

as they happen. The cameras attach to

officers’ high visibility equipment vests and

record high definition video instantly, at the

push of a button. The aim is to help officers

record quality evidence of live incidents to

support victims and witnesses of crime,

encourage early guilty pleas, reduce

complaints against police and reassure

wider communities. Evidence shows that

the use of these devices can help reduce

crime, especially alcohol-fuelled violence.

“I am keen to ensure that the service we deliver is of the highest standard possible. Whilst this division has not escaped from the public service

cuts, I will do everything I possibly can to ensure that the public receive the service they need.”

South Division delivers policing services

to communities across the city of Derby,

Erewash and South Derbyshire. We

have five local policing units that are very

different with diverse communities. In

Derby, over 80 different nationalities and

over 170 different languages and dialects

are spoken, whereas South Derbyshire

has a large geographical area bordering

three other counties and Erewash has

an ex-mining industry and borders

Nottinghamshire.

The investigation of serious sexual

offences and burglaries remains a priority.

We have teams of detectives whose

purpose is to provide a specialised

investigative response to offences. Crime

performance has been transformed this

year with excellent reductions in crime and

improvements in detected offences.

The most recent community to take

up residence in Peartree is the Roma

community, predominantly of Eastern

European origin. A multi-agency operation

was introduced when anti-social

behaviour and crime became an issue. We

implemented a section 30 dispersal order

and started up diversionary activities to

help the Roma community integrate within

the diverse established community.

Alcohol related harm continues to affect

many people therefore a partnership

approach to licensing and the supply

of alcohol is a key part of our work. In

collaboration with partners we maintained

Purple Flag status for the city of Derby -

an accreditation scheme that recognises

excellence in the management of town and

city centres at night.

Tackling anti-social behaviour is a key

priority in collaboration with partners. We

work closely together to protect vulnerable

and repeat victims in a drive to identify the

root causes of the problem.

We have 583 police officers, 77 police

community support officers and 97 special

constables.

“I want us to continue to provide the best service that we can and be visible in communities and work with partners.

Crime has reduced significantly over the last ten years and we will strive to reduce it further.”

Operational Support has no geographical

boundaries within Derbyshire and provides

specialist resources and support to our

divisions and Crime Support from a central

base at Ripley.

Our key sections/functions are:

z Armed response unit providing a

firearms and less than lethal response

to incidents of violence where the

protection of the public and police

officers is a priority.

z Roads policing unit who police our

roads network and are the first response

to injury collisions.

z Collision investigation unit with

specialist scene investigators and

vehicle examiners for serious and fatal

collisions.

z Road crime unit targeting criminals’ use

of the roads.

z Dog section who we call upon for public

order and search duties.

z Uniformed task force - a specialist

public order support unit who assist

with searches, warrants and planned

operations.

z Firearms support ensures the force is

trained and able to respond effectively

to firearms incidents.

z Operational planning - a specialist

planning and business continuity unit.

z Intelligence unit who gather intelligence

and deliver intelligence led briefings.

z Our Casualty Reduction Enforcement

Support Team (CREST) is part of the

Derby and Derbyshire Road Safety

Partnership whose aim is to improve

road safety and reduce road casualties

through speed awareness and

enforcement.

Contact Management also forms part of

our department.

Contact Management supports operational

staff as well as the general public across

Derbyshire. We deal with all initial 999 and

101 non-emergency calls.

The Centralised Contact Management

Centre, located at force headquarters in

Ripley, is home to the Force Operations

Room. There are two sections within the

Force Operations Room: the Force Control

Room and Force Contact Centre.

We have produced some excellent

performance in recent years and provide

a vital service for the force and people of

Derbyshire.

National Police Air Service (NPAS)

Police helicopters across England and

Wales are now part of the borderless

National Police Air Service (NPAS).

NPAS provides air support to the 43 police

forces from its network of 15 bases. It is

the first and only collaboration of all police

forces in England and Wales, regulated by

law.

NPAS supports police forces across

England and Wales to keep communities

safe through providing a 24/7/365

borderless service in which the tasks

posing the highest risk to communities

are prioritised in line with local police and

crime plans. All requests for support are

managed through one central point in

their national operations centre in West

Yorkshire. Through their national fleet,

they are normally able to reach 92% of the

population of England and Wales within 20

minutes and 97% within 30 minutes.

Typical tasks include: searches for

vulnerable people; pursuits of vehicles;

public order, major events, firearms,

serious incident support.

13

Crime Support

Crime Support department is responsible

for the professional investigation of

most serious and organised crime in

Derbyshire. It comprises three specialist

sections, employing around 200 highly

skilled officers and 140 staff, sophisticated

equipment and techniques.

Public protection’s responsibility is the

safe monitoring of dangerous people

and sex offenders and the professional

investigation of child exploitation, child

abuse and domestic violence offences. We

also have a team of sexual offence liaison

officers to address the needs of all rape

victims, who are cared for at a dedicated

facility specifically designed for victims of

serious sexual offences.

Force intelligence/investigation provides

a surveillance capability and investigative

support to divisions. It manages the

force’s sensitive intelligence gathering

and also provides the strategic analytical

capability. The covert authorities bureau

ensures all covert activity complies with

the Regulation of Investigatory Powers

Act. The management of organised crime

groups committing crime in Derbyshire is

also coordinated in this arena.

We work closely with the East Midlands

Special Operations Unit. Here Derbyshire

officers and staff work united with officers

and staff from across Lincolnshire,

Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and

Northamptonshire to provide specialist

response around homicide, serious and

organised crime, kidnap, significant fraud

investigations, cybercrime, asset recovery

and confiscation, counter intelligence

services and forensic services.

Our greatest challenge in the coming years

is maintaining public confidence so that

victims have the utmost trust in the service

and that we respond to their needs.

Scientific Support

In April 2012 Derbyshire, Lincolnshire

and Nottinghamshire police forces began

collaborating on forensics services as part

of the East Midlands Special Operations

Unit. This unit provides specialist skills

and expertise in fingerprint identification

and enhancement, imaging, footwear

intelligence and forensic analysis.

The unit, relocated to a single site location,

the Arrow Centre in Nottinghamshire, in

February 2015.

In July 2015 the forensic investigation

team joined the EMSOU team, supporting

investigations through the forensic

recovery of samples and exhibits from all

types of crime scenes from property to

people.

There has been lots of good work done

over the years within the forensic arena.

Forces now work more closely together to

deliver the best forensics service for the

region and build on our national reputation

for excellence.

Criminal Justice has responsibility for

supporting investigations through the

criminal justice process and is the central

point of contact between the police and

other criminal justice agencies including

the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and

the courts service. Our aim is to increase

public confidence in the criminal justice

system by better supporting victims and

witnesses.

The department is centrally managed and

is made up of 34 police officers and 214

police staff based at Buxton, Chesterfield,

Derby and headquarters.

Our key functions are:

z Custody suites at Buxton, Chesterfield

and Derby.

z Force identification unit with

responsibility for progressing formal

identification procedures across the

force.

z Criminal justice units at Chesterfield

and Derby who process prosecution

files for offenders charged to appear

before court.

z Central process unit that deals with all

summons files, administer some fixed

penalty tickets, vehicle rectification and

diversionary schemes.

z Crown court support unit who

administer crown court files, ensuring

evidence is collated as requested by

the CPS or the judge.

z Central witness care unit supporting all

victims and witnesses going through

the court process.

z Firearms licensing unit with

responsibility for processing

applications and maintaining records for

all firearms certificate holders.

The Niche Records Management System

provides a centralised IT system for all

case and custody, crime and intelligence

applications, enabling staff to easily share

information across forces.

We have introduced a number of ways

to provide digitally captured evidence,

which will deliver further efficiencies. This

includes provision of digital interview

recording equipment and installation of

video facilities to enable officers to provide

evidence at court via live link.

Business Futures department works to

help Derbyshire Constabulary progress as

an organisation, while also supporting the

force’s interests and those of the people it

serves.

Our work includes support to the

chief officers and police and crime

commissioner. We also provide points of

contact for external bodies, including the

Home Office and the media, to give just

two examples.

A further key role of the department is

to support frontline policing. We develop

strategies and policies, which support day-

to-day operational policing. Additionally,

we provide up-to-date performance

management data to assist operational

commanders in achieving national and

local targets.

Headed by a police chief superintendent,

we are a team of 20 full-time equivalent

police officers and 109 police staff. There

are five business areas - information

management, performance and

management information, service

improvement, communications and

engagement, and equality.

Communications and engagement

provides support for the public and

force through media interest and witness

appeals, social media channels as well as

ensuring the force’s internal and external

websites are kept up-to-the-minute.

We have many years of experience

working in the community and managing

partnership arrangements. Multi-agency

groups exist across the county working

hard to reduce crime and make Derbyshire

an even safer place.

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 imposes

a legal requirement on local authorities,

the police and other key agencies to work

together at district level to develop and

implement strategies for reducing crime

and disorder.

We work closely with the Office of

the Police and Crime Commissioner,

Derbyshire Criminal Justice Board,

Derby City Council, Derbyshire County

Council, Derbyshire Fire and Rescue

Service, Victim Support, Neighbourhood

Watch, Crown Prosecution Service, HM

Prison Service, Derby and Derbyshire

Road Safety Partnership and many other

local authorities, statutory, voluntary and

charitable groups.

Business Futures has an inspector,

analysts and crime prevention design

advisors based at County Hall at Matlock

on the delivery of Safer Derbyshire and

four constables around the county in youth

offending teams.

Derbyshire Constabulary is committed

to providing a high standard of service

to the community. Our officers deal

with thousands of incidents each year

and regularly come into contact with all

sections of society. Surveys reveal that

the vast majority of people who come

into contact with us are satisfied with the

service they receive, but occasionally

officers do receive complaints about their

actions or conduct. Police officers are

required to work within the guidelines of a

code of conduct set by the Home Office

and breaches of this code are taken very

seriously.

Professional Standards department has

primary responsibility for the recording

and investigation of public complaints

against police officers and police staff

members and for discipline matters within

the force. Additionally, the department has

responsibility for physical and information

security, vetting and criminal records

checks.

Each of our sections work closely with

regional colleagues, sharing best practice

and where necessary working jointly.

Our greatest challenge is to effectively

communicate to all staff the responsibility

placed upon them by the Standards of

Professional Behaviour which in turn helps

to maintain the public’s confidence in the

Derbyshire Constabulary.

The East Midlands Police Legal Services

collaboration is part of the East Midlands

Police Collaboration Programme providing

services to the chief constables and

police and crime commissioners of

Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire,

Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire.

We have offices in Ripley, Derbyshire

Nettleham, Lincolnshire and Daventry in

Northamptonshire.

Our areas of work are:

z Corporate and policy advice, human

rights law and judicial reviews of

decisions.

z Operational policing matters such as

proceeds of crime, liquor and firearms

legislation.

z Advice and legal support to both police

authorities.

z Civil litigation: claims for wrongful arrest,

false imprisonment, malicious

prosecution, accidents at work and

road collisions.

z Representing the chief officer’s interests

at inquests.

z Data protection, freedom of information

requests and the law relating to the

disclosure of information.

z Employment law: providing advice as

well as representation before tribunals in

respect of claims for race, sex and

disability discrimination.

z Police conduct: advice and

representation before force misconduct

panels and police appeals tribunals.

z Commercial law and conveyancing.

z Advice on all aspects of Police

Strategic Finance is responsible for the

statutory accounting and budget activities

of Derbyshire Constabulary, ensuring

that it meets its statutory deadlines for

the completion and reporting of financial

information.

We provide financial policy guidance and

advice to the force for all financial matters,

along with preparation and monitoring of

revenue and capital budgets, borrowing

and lending and the operation and

maintenance of our bank accounts.

Strategic Finance works closely with the

other East Midlands forces to provide

finance support to collaboration projects.

Our involvement starts at inception with

input into business cases through to

the implementation of the project. For

collaboration projects where Derbyshire is

the lead force, Strategic Finance provides

all of the financial support for these

projects on behalf of participating forces.

Strategic Finance

Assets

The focus of the Assets team is on the

force’s building and vehicle assets and

covers work from routine maintenance,

cleaning, grounds maintenance and capital

projects, together with the management

and replacement of over 650 force

vehicles.

A major piece of work, project managing

the erection and occupation of the new

force headquarters, was completed in the

autumn of 2016.

Based at our current site in Ripley, this

is a joint venture with the Derbyshire

Fire and Rescue Service. The building is

considerably more environmentally friendly

and cost efficient.

There is a real determination to improve

our estate where necessary but also to

reduce it where possible, working with

the Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service

and other partners to ensure we have one

estate fit for our policing model, providing

efficiencies where possible but also best

serving the public by delivering local and

visible policing.

There are three sections within the

department:

Programmes and projects - responsible for

the oversight, resource management and

financial management of all IS projects and

work streams within the force. This means

that all project information is held within

one place allowing clear governance and

prioritisation processes to take place.

Service Operations - focused on providing

a joined up and effective service. They

are responsible for the creation and

management of service levels from

the whole department to the force.

Also responsible for the core service

delivery within IS, which consists of

the underpinning network, servers and

communications used to deliver the day

to day service. They capacity manage

the network and ensure that availability

and service continuity meet the standards

required by our customers.

Service Improvement - to continually

review, improve and innovate the service

we deliver to our users.

The way in which we deliver our HR

services has recently gone through

transformational change.

A regional learning and development team

was established bringing together four of

the East Midlands forces. Training delivery

remains locally based in Derbyshire, with

all the trainers remaining employed by the

force, but with direction and management

coming from the East Midlands

management team.

A regional occupational health unit was

also established bringing together all five

East Midlands forces. This has seen the

harmonisation of policy and processes and

the delivery of the service from three main

sites with clinics at the other two locations.

The third area of collaboration saw

Derbyshire and Leicestershire become the

first police forces in the United Kingdom

to share their HR system and transactional

service centre. The system manages

both forces’ data for HR, training, duty

management and health and safety, and

has delivered significant economies of

scale.

Our services include:

z Recruitment

z Health and wellbeing

z Training services

z Staff terms and conditions

z Promotion examinations and boards

z Consultation with staff associations

and trade unions

z IT systems which store the important

information about our workforce

z Leadership and workforce development

The Special Constabulary is an integral

part of the force supporting Safer

Neighbourhood teams, reactive patrol

officers and roads policing officers

throughout the county. Specials are a

group of trained volunteers and they play a

crucial role in fighting crime and reducing

anti-social behaviour.

Specials have the same sworn powers as

police officers and are required to volunteer

for a minimum of four hours a week. Their

initial training is a comprehensive package

delivered in a number of timeframes to

enable people from a wide variety of

communities to be able to become special

constables. The force has used the

opportunity of recruitment into the Special

Constabulary as a way of developing

a greater diverse profile, with particular

emphasis on some of our minority groups

through focused recruitment events.

The total number of specials is around

240, and a great deal of work has been

undertaken to encourage specials to be

as active as possible. This includes their

support for events and major sporting

fixtures, crime scenes and local problem

solving.

The force employs a coordinator to look at

retention and development of our existing

specials to see how we can improve their

productivity, and better planning and

coordination of their activity, particularly

linking into our operational planning

processes.

Future work will include allowing specials

to diversify more within the workplace.

Opportunities to explore some of the skills

they bring into the force will be explored

but examples of wildlife crime, fraud and

crime prevention business areas are some

to consider.

We have had a successful cadet scheme

in Derby for a number of years which has

supported and developed young people

who are great ambassadors for the force.

In 2015 we expanded the scheme across

the county.

Young people aged 13 to 18 joined

schemes in Glossop, Chesterfield and

Derby, this was the first time it was opened

up to children as young as 13. We currently

have three units of 25 teenagers who stay

with us for around two years.

The aim of the scheme is to give our

cadets the opportunity to give something

back to their community while gaining life

skills. Cadets gain an insight into policing

and have the opportunity to undertake

duties which support local policing. Some

may go on and work for the police in

the future or carry on their volunteering

through the Special Constabulary.

In September 2017 we are including age

range 10 to 13 in a new scheme of junior

police cadets.

Police Support Volunteers

The Police Support Volunteers scheme is

an opportunity for members of the public

who want to volunteer to get involved in

policing and make a difference to their

community. These roles are ideal for people

who want to volunteer with us but do not

want to wear a uniform to do it.

Being a police support volunteer (PSV)

means contributing some time in a wide

variety of ways, working alongside police

officers, police community support officers,

special constables and police staff to

protect the public and cut down crime.

The aim is to give people the chance to get

involved with policing in Derbyshire, to help

reduce the amount of time officers spend

in the police station and to enhance the

service we already provide.

Derbyshire Police Federation

The Police Federation of England and

Wales represents over 124,000 officers

of constable to chief inspector ranks.

In essence we are similar to a union. In

Derbyshire we have two full-time officers,

that being chairman and secretary.

We regularly meet with the force senior

management team to discuss matters that

affect the members we represent.

The representatives help our members

in relation to misconduct, health and

safety and equality, and help facilitate

any changes the force makes to working

practices.

Our greatest challenge is to manage the

expectations and problems officers are

facing due to the reductions in funding

over the last five years when police officer

numbers have fallen and police support

staff have lost their jobs.

Derbyshire Police Unison

UNISON is the only recognised union

within Derbyshire Constabulary. As a

branch we enable members to get support

when needed and ensure their views are

communicated to management.

Key functions are to enter into negotiations,

collective bargaining and liaise with

management at all levels. We have two

full-time members of staff within branch

office, and stewards, officers and other

representatives throughout most areas and

departments.

Derbyshire Superintendents’

Association

The Superintendents’ Association

of England and Wales represents

senior police officers in the 43 forces,

British Transport Police, Civil Nuclear

Constabulary and Isle of Man Police in

the rank of superintendent and chief

superintendent.

It is organised at force, district and national

levels. The Derbyshire branch meets

quarterly and is entitled to have three

representatives at district meetings, which

are held three times a year. There is also an

annual joint meeting of districts.

The association negotiates pay and

conditions and supports officers in

misconduct matters.

The association is actively involved in

strategic decision-making in the force.

All the force’s chief superintendents

and superintendents are members of

the association. At present there are 19

members, five chief superintendents

and 14 superintendents.

and involve members of the force with

decision making. Communication is at

the core of everything we do with many

different programmes to gain information

and feedback from individuals and teams

across the force.
