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.

Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day – a timely reminder of the importance of making services accessible to everyone.
In Derbyshire, initiatives like Rapid Video Response (RVR) and Enhanced Video Response (EVR) are helping to do just that. These virtual frontline services allow officers to connect with victims via secure video calls, providing a faster, more flexible way to respond and support those who may find traditional face-to-face contact more difficult.
This approach is already making a difference:
✅ Supporting victims of domestic abuse, working with local policing teams to enable swift action, including arrests
✅ Improving resilience across teams, with plans to expand training so more officers can deliver this service
✅ Offering a more responsive and accessible option for victims of crime
By embracing technology, we’re helping to ensure victims can access support in a way that works for them.
