LPU Inspector Quarterly Update

Quarterly Period: April – June 2026

Keeping Our Neighbourhoods Safe

Over the past quarter, our neighbourhood teams across Allestree, Darley Abbey, Mackworth and New Zealand have remained focused on keeping our communities safe, listening to local concerns, and working closely with partners to address the issues that matter most to residents.

Proactive Policing Activity

Our approach continues to focus on problem-solving, visibility and partnership working. Officers and PCSOs have conducted regular high-visibility patrols, enforcement activity and engagement across identified hotspot areas. This has included targeted patrols in parks, residential streets and transport routes, as well as joint work with partner agencies to address ongoing issues linked to vulnerability and anti-social behaviour.

Stop and Search

Stop and search powers have been used lawfully and proportionately where officers have had grounds to suspect criminal activity. These powers have supported our work to tackle drug-related crime and protect communities. During the quarter, stop searches were carried out in areas including Greenwich Drive South, contributing to positive outcomes linked to drug misuse and associated criminality.

Tackling Local Concerns

Developed intelligence into young people who are causing anti-social behaviour and are working with them to deter them from offending.

We have undertaken a number of intelligence led Misuse of Drugs Act stop searches of individuals with many positive results, these investigations are currently on going.

Enforced disruption visits to known address to prevent further drug use taking place.

Conducted several pro-active stops of vehicles linked to drug dealing and searched these vehicles. Positive results have come from these with drugs being seized

Proactive traffic enforcement including finding a driver under the influence of drugs

Issued Traffic Offence Reports for unsafe tyres, lighting defects, no insurance and no MOT.

Worked alongside the community and partners to develop an intelligence framework for the illegal use of motorbikes, identifying those involved and key locations where they are used and kept

seized several illegal and stolen motorbikes.

Working With Our Communities

Listening to residents remains central to our work. We have attended community meetings in Allestree and Darley Abbey, engaged with youth groups, and used community feedback to shape patrol plans and priorities. Partnership working continues to be key, particularly when addressing vulnerability, anti-social behaviour and environmental concerns.
