Crime and safety

Connecting you to your Rural Crime Team:

Derbyshire Rural Crime Team

Communities across each rural patch within Derbyshire have their own designated officers. While the whole team are still responsible for the whole of the county, these specific areas help give residents their own point of contact and help develop better local knowledge. If you would like to get in touch, mark your email for the attention of your local officer and send it to: drct@derbyshire.pnn.police.uk or send a message via the Derbyshire Rural Crime Team Facebook page. Remember, for live or ongoing incidents use the 999 or 101 telephone line. @ruralcrimeteam

Reporting crime

If you need to report a crime please contact your local police on 999 in an emergency or 101 in a non-emergency situation.

You can give information about any type of rural crime 100% anonymously by calling the Rural Crime Hotline on 0800 783 0137 or visiting www.ruralcrimehotline.co.uk.

You can also give information about rural crime by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity that gives people the power to speak up and stop crime – 100% anonymously.

Support for victims

At The Farming Life Centre we have lots of groups which can help improve your social connectedness. Please give us a call for more information about joining any of our activities. If you are worried about rural crime or have been a victim we can help provide links to the local support available.
