Finding you the right support
Derbyshire Victim Services are here to provide both the public and victims of crime with easily accessible information, advice and links to local and national support services. It helps ensure people can self-refer to support services and access information on a wide variety of different crime types. It also offers people the opportunity to report a crime and provides advice on what to do if somebody has been a victim of crime.
Whether you have been affected by crime – or you know someone who has – this website could help. It offers advice for those affected by crime and will provide support, information and advice for the public and victims of crime alike. If you have been the victim of a crime, it is important that you understand the steps that come next and how to receive the support you need.

Deputy PCC Dr Fatima Eltinay brought organisations together in Derby for the first in a series of community listening events focused on tackling hate crime across Derbyshire.
The event was delivered in partnership with Muslim Women's Network UK and Muslim Safety Net, bringing together trusted community organisations and professionals to hear directly from women affected by hate crime and discrimination.
Representatives from women’s and community organisations, including Al Hurraya, Derby Women's Centre, the Multi-Faith Centre, Spark and Spectrum CIC, and An Nisa CIC, shared the experiences of the women they support.
Discussions highlighted racism, Islamophobia, harassment, under-reporting and the barriers that can prevent women from seeking help or feeling confident that they will be heard.
The session provided an important opportunity to understand what more can be done to strengthen reporting pathways, improve access to support and build greater trust between communities, the police and partner agencies.
Officers from Normanton and Rose Hill Police SNT also attended, highlighting their work and their commitment to remaining visible, accessible and responsive to the concerns of local residents.
This is only the beginning. Future sessions will seek to hear from other groups of women and communities who feel their experiences of hate crime are unheard, overlooked or under-represented.
We are calling on community organisations, women’s groups and trusted local leaders to come forward, share the experiences of the people they support and help shape practical action to prevent hate crime and improve support for victims across Derbyshire.

With schools across Derbyshire now broken up for the summer, we’re asking families, communities and young people to help keep our county safe during the weeks ahead. Hot weather brings great opportunities to enjoy our parks, green spaces and countryside — but it also brings risks that we can prevent together.
🌡️ Hot Weather & Outdoor Safety
As temperatures rise, please remind children and young people to stay hydrated, use sun protection and take regular breaks in the shade. Derbyshire’s beauty spots — from the Peak District to Derby city centre — will be busy, and we want everyone to enjoy them safely.
🚫 Anti‑Social Behaviour
We know that summer holidays can lead to an increase in reports of anti‑social behaviour across communities.
Our message is simple: Respect shared spaces, look out for neighbours and report any concerns as early as possible.
Derbyshire Constabulary’s neighbourhood policing teams will be visible across the county, working with partners to keep communities safe. If you see persistent issues, please use the Derbyshire Police ASB reporting tool.
🌊 Open Water Dangers
With warm weather, we often see young people tempted to swim in quarries, reservoirs and rivers — particularly around Cromford, Middleton, Ladybower, and disused sites across the High Peak.
These waters may look inviting, but they hide cold‑water shock, strong undercurrents and unseen hazards. Tragically, Derbyshire has seen the consequences of this before.
If you’re heading out near water, choose supervised locations only and follow local safety signage.
👮 Working Together This Summer
The OPCC will continue supporting Derbyshire Constabulary and local partners to keep young people safe, reduce harm and protect our communities. Your awareness and conversations at home make a real difference.
Let’s enjoy the summer — safely, respectfully and together.

Today is the first day of Y Not Festival with headline performances from The Reytons, Two Door Cinema Club, The Streets and The Libertines.
Bringing people from across the country to Pikehall in the Derbyshire Dales, keeping tens of thousands of music lovers safe is a top priority.
PCC Nicolle Ndiweni Roberts joined organisers and partners during their site visit to hear first hand how policing, the council, emergency and security teams are working together to look out for those enjoying the festival.
Joined by Chief Inspector Hunt and officers from across the policing operation, Nicolle met with teams on the ground to understand the plans in place to keep festival‑goers safe, from entry security and crowd management to emergency response and on‑site patrols.
Keeping people safe is at the heart of the Police and Crime Plan, and Nicolle will continue supporting the work of officers and partners.
If you are attending the festival this week, remember:
💊 Drug dealing and possession will not be tolerated, and searches will be taking place at the gate and during the festival
🔥 The ground is very dry – extinguish and dispose of cigarettes and only use BBQs in designated cooking areas where possible
🚨 Speak to security if something doesn’t seem right, they’re there to help
⛺ Camping and essential supplies are available on site if you need them
🛑 Don’t risk the drive – don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve had a drink
We hope everyone heading to Y Not has a fantastic time. Whether you’re camping, enjoying the music or exploring the site, please look out for one another, ask for help if you need it, and follow the festival’s safety guidance to stay safe throughout the weekend.
