PCC Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts and Deputy PCC Dr Fatima Eltinay visited Tideswell, Buxton alongside the Rural Crime Team to hear directly from a local farmer about how they have worked with our Rural Crime Team, alongside the measures they have put in place to keep their farm and family safe. Rural crime continues to have a serious impact on farming communities, with issues such as equipment theft, livestock worrying and damage to property placing financial and emotional strain on farmers. Nicolle and Fatima saw first‑hand how these crimes disrupt daily operations and threaten livelihoods. The Rural Crime Team outlined the proactive work they are doing to tackle these issues – from targeted patrols and intelligence‑led operations to working closely with farmers to improve security and strengthen reporting pathways. The PCC helped mark some machinery using Datatag, a forensic security marking system, which makes it harder for criminals to steal equipment and machinery. Nicolle and Fatima will continue supporting efforts to reduce rural crime and ensure farmers feel protected, listened to and confident that action is being taken to safeguard their communities. #SaferAndStrongerTogether #DeliveringForDerbyshire #DerbyshireOPCC
