Derby City Centre

Derby, Derby South & Erewash

Jack Atwal
Divisional Commander Jack Atwal
Senior officer for this area

The Derby, Derby South & Erewash area is referred to in policing terms as 'D Division'. It includes Derby City Centre as well as Allestree, Chaddesden, Mickleover and Swadlincote, to give just a few examples. It also includes areas around Ilkeston, Sandiacre and Long Eaton amongst others.

The area we cover includes Derby, Erewash and South Derbyshire, and has a population of about 450,000. The areas are diverse and the communities have different needs.

The public must be  at the forefront of our policing style and their safety whether they are living, working or visiting the towns or city is paramount.

I want us to continue to provide the best service that we can and be visible in communities and work with partners.

To do that, we need to support and develop our staff to enable them to give a great service to the public.

We have had nine years of crime reduction in Derbyshire and I want D Division to play its part in making that 10.
