Mackworth and New Zealand Police SNT

This evening, PCSO Nugent joined the St Francis Church at their Summer Ceilidh! 💃🏻

Luckily for her, no experience is needed to join in with the dancing, and the expert caller was there to guide everyone through every step.
We are please to announce that she stepped on no toes during the dance, however her lack of rhythm was definitely boarding on criminal! 👮🏼

We love visiting any community event and it was lovely to speak to both familiar residents, and get to know others. 😄

| Missing Derby man Neil has been found safe and well.

Thank you to everyone who helped with our appeal.

🚓 Community Update – Mackworth 🚓

This evening, Sgt Charlesworth and PCSO Nugent joined Derby City Council and local councillors in Mackworth for a community walkabout, taking the opportunity to speak directly with residents about local concerns.
During the patrol, officers spotted a suspected stolen motorbike being ridden dangerously along Knightsbridge. A short while later, the bike was located hidden in a nearby passageway to a residential property.

✅ The motorbike has been recovered
✅ The rider’s helmet was also seized

Enquiries are ongoing, and once forensic testing is complete, we will be taking further action.

If you’re responsible, expect a knock at your door.

Thank you to everyone who spoke with us this evening — your information and support help us keep our communities safe. If you have any information about crime in your area, please continue to report it.

Today, the team have conducted a knife sweep on the path, and surrounding green areas, from Greenwich Drive South towards Murray Park School. They were joined by our Public Protection Officer as well as Ndukwe, the local Labour councillor, and our Police Crime Commissioner.
We are pleased that no knives were found during the sweep, however we also joined up to complete a short reassurance patrol around Peckham Gardens, and even spoke with a few residents following the recent incident from this week.

Yesterday, PCSOs Nugent and Collings held a pop-up event at Mackworth library to discuss matters relating to Knife Crime.

Below is a picture of knives that were handed in, a majority were given by our friends at the Daisy Chain Charity Shop which members of the community have donated to them, which they cannot resell.
If you are unsure on what to do with old knives, please remember that charity shops cannot resell these items, instead, you can securely wrap them in kitchen tissue and cardboard before placing in your waste bin, or alternatively if you do not feel comfortable with this, you can hand them in at St Mary's Police Station enquiry office instead.

If you wish to find out more information regarding our Focus Week, you can find PCSOs Smith and Haworth stationed at Park Farm, Allestree this Thursday between 1:30pm and 3:00pm.

🚓 Safer Neighbourhood Team – Mini Police Visit 🚓

Our Safer Neighbourhood Team had a fantastic time attending Markeaton Primary School as part of the Mini Police programme 👮‍♀️👮‍♂️

The pupils got hands-on experience supporting officers by carrying out speed checks on Broadway, learning all about road safety, community responsibility, and why keeping to speed limits matters 🚗💨
It was great to see such enthusiasm, teamwork, and confidence from the Mini Police—future community champions in the making! 🌟

Thank you to Markeaton Primary School for your warm welcome and continued support 💙
