Nobody should feel unsafe, intimidated or targeted because of who they are.
Whether it happens in the workplace, online, in public or within your community, hate crime and hate incidents have no place in Derbyshire.
This Hate Crime Awareness Week, we're encouraging everyone to recognise the signs of hate crime and to report it. Reporting helps agencies understand what's happening, support those affected and take action where needed.
If you have experienced hate crime, you're not alone. Derbyshire Victim Services can provide free, confidential support, practical advice and guidance, regardless of whether the crime has been reported to the police.
📢 Report hate crime or find support: www.derbyshirevictimservices.co.uk/types-of-crime/hate-crime/
Together, we can help make Derbyshire a safer and more inclusive place for everyone.

Getting people the right support at the right time can make all the difference when they are experiencing a mental health crisis.
Recently, a person contacted police while contemplating suicide. Officers worked quickly with healthcare partners to locate them, ensure their immediate safety and help them engage with support. 🤝
While officers remained with the individual, further contact was made with the ambulance service, and once the Mental Health Recovery Vehicle arrived, care was transferred to specialist mental health professionals who were able to provide the most appropriate support for their needs. 🚑
This is an example of Right Care, Right Person in action, with police, ambulance and mental health services working together to ensure people in crisis receive support from the professionals best placed to help. 💬
On World Mental Health Day, we're recognising the importance of partnership working and the role it plays in helping people access the care and support they need, when they need it most. 🌍
