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.

Here in Derbyshire, we are proud to support THINK Road Safety’s ‘Don’t Put Drugs in the Driving Seat’ campaign as it returns this summer, warning young drivers of the devastating consequences of drug driving.

Last year alone, 21,791 people were convicted of drug driving offences in England and Wales, a figure that has risen sharply over the past decade. Young men remain most at risk — around 90% of drug‑impaired drivers in collisions are male, and 4 in 10 are aged 17–29.

Research shows overconfidence is fuelling the danger: 41% of young men think it’s OK to drive after taking drugs if they ‘feel fine’, and 51% know someone who drives after using drugs. 

This campaign makes the risks impossible to ignore. Using a powerful driving‑seat perspective, THINK! shows how one reckless decision can wreck your night, your life, your future — and the lives of others. 

Drug driving destroys lives. The message is loud and clear: don’t put drugs in the driving seat.

Tonight should be an enjoyable night for everyone going to support England in their Quarter-Final match against Norway. But it is important that we all remember to continue to stay safe, look out for each other and choose to Walk Away.

This short video featuring PC Adam Collins sets out how you can keep yourself and others safe wherever you watch the game this evening.

The Walk Away campaign is being promoted throughout the tournament to help prevent situations from escalating – because big games, big crowds and big emotions don’t need to lead to conflict.

Remember – look out for each other, de-escalate when safe to do so and choose to Walk Away.
