Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has warmly welcomed the introduction of independent domestic abuse specialists from The Elm Foundation into the force's control room.
This new collaborative initiative represents a significant step forward in how domestic abuse incidents are handled from the very first point of contact. By embedding specialist expertise directly into the heart of police communications, the focus is firmly on delivering a more tailored, holistic, and compassionate approach for every individual who reaches out for help.
The specialists are already working closely with control room teams and frontline officers to share unique insights, enhance safeguarding, and develop innovative tools to better protect vulnerable people.
Nicolle is committed to ensuring that victims across all our communities receive the highest standard of specialized care. Having these dedicated advocates embedded within the force ensures that the response to domestic abuse is as supportive, effective, and individualised as possible.

A new weapon surrender bin has been installed in Derby as part of a united effort to prevent knife crime and violence.
Funded by Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts through Serious Violence Duty funding, which is aimed at supporting partnership approaches to tackling serious violence, and in partnership with Derby City Council, the secure container has been installed outside the Tesco Express in Sinfin, Derby, on land owned by the City Council.
People can use the bin to safely and anonymously dispose of a knife, blade or other weapon which would be later removed and melted down. The bin has been designed to offer maximum security and safety and aims to reduce the availability of weapons in the local environment before they can be used to cause fear, alarm or harm.
It is the first time in Derbyshire a weapon surrender bin has not been located at a police station. Existing bins are already installed at St Mary’s Wharf Police Station in Derby and Buxton and Chesterfield Police Stations.
The last two nationally led Operation Sceptre intensification weeks saw almost 1,500 knives surrendered across Derbyshire in total. This is in addition to knives surrendered throughout the year at the three police enquiry offices. This is showing us that the public are using them to safely dispose of knives.
UK knife surrender schemes consistently demonstrate that large numbers of knives and weapons are handed in when secure, anonymous bins are provided.
The project, led by the Derby and Derbyshire Violence Reduction Unit, is part of a suite of interventions being funded by the Derby and Derbyshire Serious Violence Board to tackle the underlying causes of serious violence and knife crime.

Almost £400k of extra funding will be invested in intensive and targeted policing in Derbyshire to combat knife crime.
Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has secured £387k from the Home Office’s Knife Crime Concentration Fund (KCCF) to tackle knife crime through ‘hyper local’ hotspot policing measures over the next 12 months.
Part of the funding will be invested in targeted, extra high-visibility patrols in key hotspots over the next six months where the risk of knife crime or public concerns are highest.
It will also fund data-driven tactics, enabling officers to use advanced mapping technology and intelligence to pinpoint precise high-risk locations and peak times alongside investment in local community-based, partnership intervention measures to tackle the root causes of knife crime. These could include focused deterrence activities for youths at risk.
Serious Violence including Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) is the highest of six priorities in the PCC’s Police and Crime Plan. More than half (54%) of residents ranked the issue as a ‘top three’ priority in the Commissioner’s first major consultation in office.
In response, the Commissioner vowed in her Plan to tackle knife crime and violence at every opportunity, including developing joint approaches to crack down on knife crime throughout Derbyshire and to proactively target activity based on need to deal with serious violence offending.
