It was a pleasure for the Police and Crime Commissioner to attend the East Midlands Gospel Music Festival at Vaillant Live, Derby, organised by Connect Outreach and meet with members of the community during this vibrant and uplifting event.
The PCC spoke to attendees about the work being carried out across Derbyshire to tackle serious violence and knife crime, highlighting the importance of early intervention, prevention and ensuring that young people have access to positive opportunities.
Her speech also focused on the vital role communities play in keeping one another safe. By looking out for each other, reporting concerns and supporting those around them, residents can help build stronger, safer neighbourhoods for everyone.
It was also great to see representatives from Derbyshire Constabulary, Street Pastors and Safe and Sound Group engaging with attendees throughout the day, sharing advice, raising awareness and providing information about the support available to those who may need it.
Events like this provide valuable opportunities to connect with communities, listen to their concerns and promote the collective action needed to prevent violence and keep people safe.

Earlier this month, Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts held a Public Assurance Process (PAP) focused on Neighbourhood Policing – 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 strengthen neighbourhood policing and protect communities.
The session also addressed 76 public questions, reflecting local concerns and providing transparent responses from the force.
From speaking to residents and businesses across Derbyshire, Nicolle knows that providing visible neighbourhood policing is a key priority for communities, and this process provides accountability, ensuring the needs of local people are being addresses through robust, visible policing.

Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts, Chair of the Derbyshire Criminal Justice Board (DCJB), recently brought criminal justice partners together for a dedicated business planning day to review progress, strengthen collaboration and agree priorities for the year ahead.
The event provided an opportunity for agencies from across Derbyshire’s criminal justice system to reflect on achievements, identify areas for improvement and ensure efforts remain focused on delivering better outcomes for communities, victims and offenders.
The meeting highlighted a number of significant achievements from across the partnership, including:
🫂 More than 35,000 victims supported through Derbyshire Victim Services over the past two years.
⚖️ Derbyshire Constabulary’s use of Out of Court Resolutions rising from 21st to 5th nationally, helping divert suitable individuals away from the formal criminal justice system.
🌟 Youth justice interventions achieving a 64% non-reoffending rate, with continued reductions in first-time entrants into the justice system across Derby City and Derbyshire.
🚀 The Crown Prosecution Service’s introduction of fast-track court processes, initially for domestic abuse cases and now expanded to other offence types, helping to reduce delays and improve case progression.
😊 Continued improvements in victim and witness support, with 90% of witnesses reporting satisfaction with the service they received.
🙌 Successful recruitment and retention of 38 Witness Service volunteers, strengthening support for those attending court.
🤝 Expansion of victim support including new peer support and community-based services, alongside increased referrals and self-referrals.
💙 Ongoing work by Public Health partners to ensure victims can access timely, high-quality support despite growing demand.
Throughout the day, partners recognised the strength of collaborative working across Derbyshire and the positive impact that joint problem-solving continues to have on the criminal justice system.
The session also considered feedback gathered through a partner survey, which identified additional areas of focus for the Board. Alongside the existing priorities, there was strong support for greater emphasis on prevention and early intervention and improving outcomes for women and girls in, or at risk of entering, the criminal justice system.
