Derby South Policing Section

Inspector Paul Cannon
Section Inspector for this section

The Derby South Policing Section covers a total of 344 square miles, incorporating rural villages and town centres, with Shardlow in one corner, Foston in another and Lullington at the bottom.  

Policing is co-ordinated from Swadlincote, with an additional team office at Melbourne.

It is my aim to reduce and detect crime, reduce anti-social behaviour, protect the vulnerable and thus continue to ensure South Derbyshire is a safe place to live, work and visit.

The teams I am responsible for,  which are made up of Reactive, Safer Neighbourhood, CID and Special Officers ,  work hard with our partners at South Derbyshire District Council to achieve this aim.

Insp Paul Cannon
