The Safer South Derbyshire Partnership was created when the Government brought in the Crime and Disorder Act in 1998. The Act places a duty on the Partnership to produce a crime reduction strategy every three years.   

The strategy is developed following an audit of crime and disorder using recorded crime figures, other agency data and results from a number of public surveys and consultation exercises.  
 
The Partners Are:   

• South Derbyshire District Council
• Derbyshire Constabulary
• Derbyshire County Council
• Derbyshire Probation Service
• Derbyshire Youth Offending Service
• Derbyshire County PCT
• Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service
• Derbyshire Police Authority
• South Derbyshire Council for Voluntary Service
• Derbyshire Drug and Alcohol Action Team
• Connexions
• Trident Housing
• Youth Information Shop
• Neighbourhood Watch Schemes

Our Vision

"To work together to provide the people of South Derbyshire with a community in which it is safe to live, work, play and visit."

To achieve our vision:

• Review patterns of crime and disorder across South Derbyshire to see what the problems are and where they are happening
• Consult with the community to see what is important to you
• Produce a three yearly plan to set out our priorities  
• Set targets to reduce crime and disorder
• Work together on projects which will help us meet our targets
