About our Key Individual Network (KIN)

Derbyshire Constabulary is committed to improving the influence local people have on our response to local problems.

We're looking for people to join our Key Individual Network (KIN). We want to know your thoughts and opinions on a range of issues that affect your neighbourhood. You don't have to belong to any other organisations or be involved any more than you want to. As a KIN member we will ask you to give us occasional local feedback, which in turn helps us to gain a more informed understanding of our community.

Main roles of the KIN

Widen the consultation between the police and the local community.
Give prompt information about significant changes in local tension and provide information of local issues.
Enable community members to influence local policing and for the police to get increase information about issues affecting our neighbourhoods.

Benefits of the KIN

Improves the quality of life for you and your neighbourhood.
Provides a medium for the resolution of issues that arise within your neighbourhood.
Provides an opportunity for the community to influence how their area is policed.

Once you become part of the KIN

Your personal details will not be used for any other purpose, or passed on to anyone else. You will be invited to meetings concerning setting priorities within your neighbourhood, and these take place on average every quarter. Outside these meetings we will carry out the majority of communication by phone, post or email. This includes our Community Messaging Service.

You can resign from the KIN at any time. If you wish at any time to amend your KIN details, for example if you change telephone numbers, please contact our KIN manager Julie Jackson via julie.jackson.5513@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk.

We value the contributions of our KIN members, so if you have any information on local issues that you feel would be useful please contact us.
