Your Safer Neighbourhood Team
I have more than 20 years’ service with Derbyshire Constabulary.
I have worked all this time in the High Peak, as response PC, Safer Neighbourhoods PC, response Sgt, response Inspector and now a Local Policing Unit (LPU) Inspector.
As a LPU Inspector I believe it is really important that my team put communities at the centre of what we do. I am responsible for the leadership of our response team and our neighbourhood team which is based across two stations at Glossop and Buxton.
It is expected that my officers work hard to investigate crime, bring offenders to justice and to protect the vulnerable. It is vital that we are visible and have good working relationships with our partner agencies to make High Peak a safer place to live, work and visit.
When not doing my day-to-day role, I work hard to improve officers’ mental health support and wellbeing across the force.

3. Speeding MotoristsAction taken:
1. Drugs/drug dealing We’ve received intelligence from members of the local community of drug dealing and suspicious activity involving drugs in and around chapel. We see this as an extremely important priority. We have increased hi visibility patrolling both in marked and unmarked police vehicles and on foot to help be more of a presence in the local area and catch individuals. As well as using police databases in order to see where exactly this activity is taking place.
2. ASB When engaging with the local community we have received reports of anti-social behaviour around the Rowton grange area and war memorial park, kids have been entering the abandoned house, we have caught these individuals in the act and dealt with them accordingly, to further stop this and any other anti-social behaviour we have massively increased on foot, high visibility patrolling in your local area and reviewed Derbyshire alert surveys to identify which areas are targeted the worst. This has seen ASB in Chapel decrease significantly over the last couple of months, we will continue this effort to make chapel as safer place for everybody.
3. Speeding Motorists and dirt bikes The local Safer Neighbourhood Team, along with members of the local community have carried out speed watch engagements at established locations along various roads throughout Chapel and Chinley to help clamp down on speeding. More are planned in the coming months; we are also looking to recruit more volunteers to help with the Community Speed watches. We are also clamping down on vehicles which are involved in criminal behaviour and driving around with no insurance etc .we have been conducting car stop operations to further reinforce our commitment to making the roads of chapel safe.
