Recently, Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts attended the annual Amber Valley Borough Council Crime and Disorder Meeting, where she heard directly from local councillors about the issues that matter most to residents in their wards.
Discussions covered a range of topics including road safety, anti-social behaviour, violence against women and girls, and rural crime. The meeting provided an important opportunity for councillors to share local concerns, highlight community priorities, and discuss how partners can work together to address them.
Nicolle welcomed the opportunity to listen to the experiences and perspectives of elected members, helping to ensure that local voices continue to inform policing and community safety priorities across Amber Valley.
Also in attendance was Inspector Brooks, who provided updates on local policing activity and responded to operational questions relating to the area.

It was a privilege for the Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Dr. Fatima Eltinay to attend the Derbyshire Rural Domestic Abuse in the Workplace Conference and deliver a powerful speech highlighting the impact of domestic abuse in rural communities.
Speaking to professionals and partner organisations from across Derbyshire, Fatima emphasised that domestic abuse does not discriminate and can affect people of all genders, ages, races, disabilities and professional backgrounds.
The event highlighted the unique challenges facing victims in rural areas, where isolation can be weaponised by perpetrators and abuse can continue for around 25% longer due to barriers such as limited support services and a lack of reliable transport.
The speech focused on the importance of recognising the signs of abuse, creating supportive workplace cultures and ensuring that victims know where to turn for help. Employers, colleagues and communities all have a vital role to play in identifying concerns, offering support and helping people access the services they need.
It was also encouraging to see organisations from across the domestic abuse sector coming together to share knowledge, discuss best practice and strengthen the collective response to supporting victims and tackling abuse.
Events like this provide valuable opportunities to raise awareness, challenge harmful behaviours and reinforce the message that everyone has a role to play in preventing domestic abuse and supporting those affected by it.
