Darley and Westend Police SNT

This morning, PCSO Charles was stationed outside Sainsbury's on Kedleston Road discussing local concerns with residents.

She spoke with the manager of the store regarding recent issues they have experienced and the ways police have, and can tackle them.

If you weren't able to attend today, you can catch the team on Friday 28/08/26 from 9:00-11:00, where we will be holding a bike marking event in the area of Darley Tea Rooms. Please feel free to come along and we can can register your bike for free, this is so that should it ever become lost or stolen it will be identifiable and registered to you.

Over the last few weeks officers from the team have been out & about at events in Darley Abbey.

The first was the Superhero Picnic in the Park, which was a great success and everyone that attended got the chance to sit in one of our vehicles and try on some uniform.

PCSO's also held a community catch-up at The Greenery.

This afternoon, PCSOs Nugent and Charles have supported at McDonalds Family Fun to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charity.

The PCSOs spoke with lots of families and gave out even more stickers!
The police car is always the fan favourite, and we were able to bring along some of the old uniform for the children to try on. 👮🏼

Thank you to the team at McDonalds for having us 😁

Join the team next Wednesday for a pop-up to discuss local issues or any community concerns 👮🏼

A/Sgt Dolby & PCSO Smith will be at Mundy Play Centre Car Park on Wednesday 12th August from 13:00 - 14:00 offering free bike marking.

Please feel free to pop by for a chat or get your bike registered!

As the warm and dry weather continues, we would like to urge everyone to play their part in keeping our green spaces, nature and community safe from fires.

We were recently made aware of a deliberate fire that had been set in Allestree Park, which took over a fairly big area and took quite a while for our colleagues at the Fire Service to extinguish.

Can we please remind residents to speak to their young people about responsible behaviour when out and about, and the dangers of setting fires at any time of year, especially when the ground is so dry. We also must consider the dangers of burning waste material, and disposing of ci******es carefully.

The team will be out and about at a few events next week and we'd love for you to pop by and see us.

The first event will be a great one for families, we'll be attending the Superhero Picnic in the Park at Darley Park on Thursday. We'll be there with on of our vehicles and lots of uniform to try on.

On Friday PCSO's will be holding a community catch-up at The Greenery at 10:30, if you have any issues you wish to discuss then please feel free to come and speak to us.

A couple of weeks ago, PCSO Nugent was invited to one of our local community groups, annual sports day event in the west end.

It was great fun watching everybody join in with a some welling wangling, egg and spoon races and tug-of-war!

At the end of the day, she and two of the volunteers from the group gave out the winning medals to participants of each event.
What an amazing day, and lovely way for the community to come together and have fun!

| Yesterday officers from Allestree Safer Neighbourhood Team carried about the first operations as part of Operation Tollense, an initiative aimed at tackling anti-social behaviour involving stolen and off-road motorcycles, as well as e-scooters.

We were supported by our Force Drone Team, whose expertise helped us locate riders, identify bikes and uncover locations where offenders are hiding suspected stolen motorbikes.

As a result of the operation, 4 bikes/E-scooters were seized.

This is just the beginning. Further operations will be taking place over the coming months as we continue to target those responsible for anti-social behaviour and work to reduce the number of reports involving nuisance motorbikes across our communities.

If you have information about the illegal use of off-road bikes, stolen motorcycles, or e-scooters, please continue to report it to us. Your information helps us target those causing harm in our neighbourhoods.

🚔 OPERATION SAFEDRIVE - KEDLESTON ROAD, DERBY 🚔

Officers from the Safer Neighbourhood team have been on Kedleston Road today conducting a safe drive operation with the aim of improving road safety and tackling criminality on the roads.

During the operation, a number of vehicles were stopped and checked resulting in,

✅ One male arrested on suspicion of overstaying in the UK
✅ One male arrested on suspicion of driving whilst over the prescribed drug limit.
✅ One vehicle issued with a PG9 prohibition notice after being found in a dangerous condition.
✅ Two vehicles seized for having no valid insurance.

One driver even tried to fool our eagle eyed officers with a fake driving licence, this one was of poor quality and an easy spot when handed to officers.

Thanks to Roads Policing Unit for the assistance.
