Earlier this month, the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner held a Public Assurance Process (PAP) focused on serious violence, including violence against women and girls (VAWG) – a key priority within the Police & Crime Plan.
As part of this process, Derbyshire Constabulary presented a detailed report outlining progress, current challenges, and how they are working with partners to prevent harm, protect victims, and pursue offenders.
The session also addressed 21 public questions, reflecting local concerns and providing transparent responses from the force.
Tackling serious violence and VAWG requires a coordinated, partnership-led approach – and this scrutiny process is vital in ensuring the force remains accountable, responsive, and focused on safeguarding communities.

Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts and Acting Chief Constable Simon Blatchly carried out their first joint walkabout in Derby today, following A/CC Blatchly’s appointment in mid May. They spent time meeting neighbourhood policing teams to hear first hand about their work with residents, businesses, and community partners to keep Derby safe.
The visit comes during a week marked by several knife related incidents. Both the PCC and the Chief Constable thanked frontline officers for their work and noted that arrests have already been made. They also confirmed that additional patrols will be deployed across the Bank Holiday weekend to provide visible reassurance to the public.
PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts said: “First and foremost, my thoughts are with the victims and their families, and I pray for their swift recovery.
“We know that such incidents are concerning to the public and our residents. But let me be absolutely clear: for the vast majority of law-abiding people, Derby is our home and we are united in our view that violence has no place in our community. We all want to live, work, study and welcome visitors to a safe and peaceful city.
“I am reassured by the swift arrests and the investigative work that continues into these crimes. However, we all have a role to play in keeping knives off our streets. Carrying a knife is dangerous. It does not protect you - it increases the risk that you will be harmed - and it carries serious consequences.
“I urge anyone with information about any knife crime incident, or who knows someone who may be carrying a knife, to please contact Derbyshire police or, if you wish to remain anonymous, Crimestoppers. We have a collective responsibility to keep knives off our streets and our communities safe.”
