About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    1) To deter and enforce shop lifting offences- Swadlincote Town centre
    2) Serious Acquisitive Crime
    3) Speeding in known hotspot areas
    4) Youth Priority - Fear of knife crime

    Issued 01 October 2026

    Action taken:

    2) In relation to serious acquisitive crime, we will: • Continue high visibility and plain clothes patrols in hotspot areas. • Share crime prevention advice through social media, community events and Derbyshire Alert, raising awareness of current issues. • Promote security measures such as tool marking, steering locks and CCTV. • Work with partners including local authorities, bordering police forces and national policing teams to share intelligence and prevent offending.
    1) In relation to deter and enforce shop lifting offences in Swadlincote town Centre we will: - • Continue engaging with local shops and security in stores offering crime prevention advice to help deter shop thefts • Encourage the stores to report thefts • Investigate reports of thefts and pro-actively and robustly deal with identified offenders • Continue highly visible patrols throughout the location
    3) To help with speeding in known hotspot areas we will: - • Continue highly visible patrols throughout the location • Encourage community members who identity areas of concern to us to look to set up Community Speed watch schemes in the area and we will support existing schemes with their volunteering. • We will conduct speed checks and liaise with our CREST over areas of concern https://www.crestderbyshire.org/
    4) One of our neighbourhood priorities has been set following engagement with youths and our Youth Engagement team (YET) This Youth Voice priority is not based on any Police/ Partnership data, it is purely on what they have told the team they feel as youths living across South Derbyshire is the biggest area of concern to them. The results from this have highlighted- Fear of knife crime As Section Inspector for South Derbyshire, we are lucky to have a low rate of violent crime across all areas but I welcome the chance for the team to work on making Youths feel safer and hopefully eliminate this fear around knife crime, this work with incorporate work we already do throughout the year which is highlighted during the National bi-yearly Operation Sceptre. https://www.derbyshire.police.uk/police-forces/derbyshire-constabulary/areas/derbyshire-force-content/campaigns/campaigns/2023/knife-crime/ The youth engagement team will continue to their work in engagement and diversionary activities including: - • School engagement and input – more focused on knife crime during Op Sceptre Weeks • Work with partner agencies such as sporting communities and safe and sound and young people in the community to divert them away from ASB and criminality • Engage with local youth groups and deliver key messaging and provide support and advice • Complete regular visits to nominals identified through our serious violence tasking meetings to educate and refer to support services • Make use of our safer knife replacement scheme when a child is identified as a potential knife carrier. • Conduct Hi-Visibility patrols in priority areas – identified hotspots or areas of concern. • Attend local events and provide safety advice and education. • Work alongside Child at risk of exploitation and missing persons teams identify young people of concern.
