This Safer Neighbourhood area covers Chesterfield Town Centre. It belongs to the Chesterfield policing section. Chesterfield is the largest town in the administrative county of Derbyshire. The town centre neighbourhood area consists of the retail centre of the town, boasting a wide variety of shops and retail outlets and a large open air market dating back to at least 1165. The town's skyline is dominated by the famous crooked spire of the church of St Mary and all saints. As this is the commercial centre of the town, there are very few residential properties in the area. Queens Park is located on the southern edge of the area, the park opened in 1893. It was recently refurbished, with help from a lottery fund grant.

These priorities were agreed with your team at your last Safer Neighbourhoods meeting. These meetings are open to everybody and allow you to affect what you feel needs addressing in your area.

Your current priorities for this neighbourhood

Priority

Anti-social behaviour and drinking around the bus stops on New Beetwell Street and West Bars

Issue Date:
Issue was set on 15/11/2012
Actions to be taken are as follows:
  • High visibility patrols to be carried out by officers to deter people from gathering in the bus stops and to enforce the town centre Designated Public Place Order (DPPO).
  • Work with the council to ensure a unified approach to making the area as safe as possible for genuine users.
  • A Section 30 Dispersal Order is now in place in this area which gives the police the power to disperse groups of 2 or more causing anti-social behaviour until March 6, 2013.
Priority

Retail crime and violent crime in the Chesterfield Town Centre.

Issue Date:
Issue was set on 15/11/2012
Actions to be taken are as follows:
  • Increase town centre patrols and continue to run pro-active operations to target both violence and thefts in the area.
  • Intervene early by targeting those people causing nuisance which could develop into violence and educate them on their behaviour.
  • Work with the Chamber of Commerce to re-launch the Shopwatch scheme.
Priority

Anti-social behaviour in Chesterfield Town Centre

Issue Date:
Issue was set on 15/11/2012
Actions to be taken are as follows:
  • Police officers to enforce the Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) which covers the town centre area. Within this zone officers have the power to dispose of alcohol open on the streets.
  • Increase patrols of PCSOs in the town centre
  • Town centre officers are linked with shop/pubwatch members and the borough council CCTV office by radio. This enables the borough council to monitor possible anti-social behaviour directing police patrols to the right places.
  • Target any relevant offenders and progress ASBOs for persistent anti-social behaviour.

I am Sergeant 2541 Nick Booth and I have responsiblity for this Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team.

I joined the police service in 2001 and was a constable in Bolsover for five years as both a response officer and a Safer Neighbourhood officer before being promoted to Sergeant in Chesterfield.  I worked as a response Sergeant for three years but have been a Safer Neighbourhood Sergeant for over a year and I am thoroughly enjoying it.

Our main aim is to make Chesterfield a safe and pleasant place for people to visit, shop and to work through working with partner agencies to reduce violent crime, thefts and anti-social behaviour. Some of our main partners include Chesterfield Borough Council, Shop Watch, Pub Watch and Derbyshire Trading Standards among many others.
