Our rural communities deserve a strong and robust policing service where officers are out tackling crime and keeping residents safe.
Since I have been elected, we have increased the size of Derbyshire Rural Crime Team and I have funded extra training for all local police officers, as well as for the officers within our Rural Crime Team.
Here in Derbyshire, our tough approach to rural crime is working with home burglaries down in rural areas by 17%. We must continue to do all we can to tackle crime and protect residents in our rural communities.
