Derbyshire

Welcome to Derbyshire Crimestoppers.

Derbyshire Crimestoppers covers a region of over 1,000 square miles covering the rural areas of the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales to Chesterfield, Clay Cross, Alfreton, Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Bolsover and Swadlincote, to name but a few. It's also the home to the vibrant and culturally diverse city of Derby.

What we do
The Derbyshire Crimestoppers Board comprises of 11 members of the community, who give up their free time to raise funds and promote awareness of the charity Crimestoppers. Members work closely with the police, media, local authorities and the community.

Since the Derbyshire Crimestoppers Board was established, we've seen a steady increase in calls and arrests. During 2006, 129 criminals were arrested and charged as a result of information we received.

We rely on our network of volunteers to assist with the promotion of the valuable work of Crimestoppers at shows such as Bakewell, Chatsworth and Derby, Neighbourhood Watch meetings and also within local organisations. Our volunteers also assist in the campaigns which are run to raise awareness of issues facing the local community.

We are currently seeking volunteer Board members who are willing to support Crimestoppers within their own communities, both at work and socially. Anyone interested should fill out the Volunteer Enquiry Form.

Dirty cash campaign
Criminals enjoying a lifestyle of expensive cars, large houses, designer labels and the latest gadgets are at the centre of our campaign. We're appealing to local people to call Crimestoppers anonymously with information about those who they suspect are prospering from crime.
