🎓 A busy few days for the OPCC Engagement Team at Freshers' Fairs in Chesterfield and Buxton.
Our team enjoyed meeting students and speaking about the work of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, as well as hearing directly about the issues that matter most to young people across Derbyshire.
🗣️ Students were encouraged to take part in our Listening to You Survey, helping us better understand local concerns and ensure their voices help shape policing and community safety priorities.
We also raised awareness of Derbyshire Victim Services, highlighting the free and confidential support available to anyone affected by crime.
Alongside this, the team shared important safety messages on:
🚗 Don't Risk the Drive
📱 Silent 999 Calls
🛴 The risks and legal implications of illegal e-scooter use
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat, ask questions and share their views. It's vital that young people have a voice in shaping safer communities.

Fraud remains one of the most common crimes affecting our communities, with criminals constantly adapting their tactics to target unsuspecting victims.
As the national policing lead for Economic Crime, Cyber Crime, Fraud and Online Safety, Derbyshire PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts is committed to raising awareness of fraud, supporting prevention activity and helping protect people from becoming victims.
That's why we're encouraging residents to take a look at 'The Big Con', Derbyshire Constabulary’s new fraud prevention newsletter, packed with practical advice, real-life examples and expert guidance from officers working on the frontline against fraud.
Inside this edition you'll find:
📧 Top tips for spotting and avoiding phishing scams
📞 How calling 159 can help if you're concerned about a suspicious banking call
🧠 Myth-busting advice on what really happens when someone becomes a victim of fraud
🎭 A real case study showing how fraudsters operate and manipulate their victims
💬 The more people talk about fraud, the harder it is for criminals to succeed.
We encourage you to read, download and share the newsletter with friends, family and colleagues.
Together, we can help protect Derbyshire residents from scams and fraud.

Derbyshire residents are being encouraged to take part in the National Public Confidence in Policing Survey, a nationwide study looking at people's experiences of crime, anti-social behaviour, community safety and policing.
Your feedback can help build a clearer picture of public confidence in policing and contribute to discussions about how services can continue to improve.
By taking part, you'll be helping researchers better understand the issues that matter most to communities and how confidence in policing changes over time.
