Derbyshire Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts has welcomed new funding to recruit an extra 35 neighbourhood police officers across the force over the next 12 months. The Home Office has confirmed Derbyshire will receive £2.8m from a £200m national pot in 2025-26 as part of the Government’s Plan for Change commitment to transform neighbourhood policing. The new officers will be placed into frontline neighbourhood policing roles and will be recruited as soon as possible and will be deployed later in the year due to initial training. Further recruitment tranches will be unveiled by the Government at a later date.
