Safer Neighbourhood Team Sergeants

I am Sergeant 2089 Nick Reason and I have responsibility for this Safer Neighbourhood Team.

I have been a Sergeant serving in the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales since 2004, at Matlock, Bakewell and Buxton. I have been fortunate to work at Matlock for the past two years.

Our area continues to have low levels of crime and anti-social behaviour and I am fortunate to have a team with considerable local knowledge and skills which helps us to work quickly on issues of an extremely variable nature. One of our key objectives is to listen to the concerns of the community and work with partner agencies to target those issues.
