Derbyshire PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has backed new Government plans to launch Respect Orders later this year, which will give police and councils tougher powers to crack down on repeat perpetrators of anti-social behaviour (ASB).
It will mean that authorities will be able to take stronger enforcement action to tackle relentless adult offenders, including banning them from town centres and stopping them from drinking in public hotspots.
It will be a criminal offence to breach a Respect Order, and officers will be able to arrest anyone who ignores the rules when it launches later this year.
The new power will partially replace existing Civil Injunction powers for adults, allowing the police to immediately arrest anyone who is flouting their Respect Order and bringing a wider range of penalties because breaches will be dealt with in the criminal courts.

Courier fraud is still affecting communities, with criminals posing as police or bank staff to pressure people into handing over cash, cards or personal details.
🚨 Remember:
Your bank or the police will never ask you to withdraw money, share your PIN, or hand anything to a courier.
🛑 Stop and think:
Unexpected calls asking for urgent action
Requests for secrecy
Someone sent to collect money or valuables
✅ Hang up, verify using a trusted number, and speak to someone you trust.

Derbyshire has secured a prestigious national award for the outstanding quality of its Independent Custody Visiting (ICV) scheme.
The scheme, managed by Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts, has received a ‘platinum’ award – the highest possible grade in the Independent Custody Visiting Association’s (ICVA) Quality Assurance Framework.
The accolade positions Derbyshire among the best performing ICV schemes in the country and fulfils a key promise by the PCC who vowed shortly after her election in 2024 to push for ‘platinum’ status.
Independent Custody Visitors (ICVs) perform vital scrutiny duties on behalf of the PCC, conducting unannounced visits to police custody suites to speak to detainees to check they are being treated fairly and that their entitlements are being met.
They also inspect the conditions of cells and custody accommodation to ensure they meet standards and review custody records to ensure staff are complying with their responsibilities, especially in relation to those who are young or vulnerable.
Issues are raised in electronic reports sent to the PCC’s office for action.
To achieve ‘platinum’ status, ICV schemes must meet more than 25 rigorous criteria, demonstrating an outstanding standard of service that goes above and beyond basic custody visiting and volunteer management requirements. They must also be formally assessed and verified by ICVA leadership to ensure they are performing at an exceptional level.
