The aim of Safer Neighbourhood Teams is to provide communities with:

• Identified and named teams based on and committed to specific neighbourhoods.

• An opportunity to work with their teams to identify and set true local priorities that affect that neighbourhood.

• Clearer contact with the local teams together with information about what is being done to tackle local problems

The Safer Neighbourhood project is the chance for communities and Safer Neighbourhood Teams to work together to solve local problems.

Derbyshire Constabulary is the lead agency and is working closely with partners. There are 103 Safer Neighbourhoods established across the county. Maps showing the Safer Neighbourhood boundaries in each district / borough council area can be accessed from "More Information" below.

Safer Neighbourhood Teams will consist of Police Officers and Police Community Support Officers together with Special Constables where available. In some areas the teams will include staff from partner organisations, for example: local authority wardens.

The teams will identify Key Individual Networks (K.I.N.s). These will be made up of individuals and groups who live and work in the area and truly care about its needs. The teams will work with the KINs to identify the most suitable types of engagement for that area. They will then identify true local priorities and then assist in resolving them.
