A catch up with Insp Wildman! 👮🏻♂️
The third quarter of 2026 has certainly been another busy one! As the summer heated up, so did the demand and challenges across the area. We’ve been busy maintaining our daily business and acting on identified issues and problems you tell us about, along with more valuable work alongside our partner agencies. ✅
I am wanting to take the time to update you on the progress on the priorities we set for the third quarter of the year, whilst also notifying you of our upcoming SNT priorities for the upcoming three months.
Chellaston
Quarter 3 – Neighbourhood Priorities – Actions taken/Results
Over the last 3 months, Chellaston SNT have focused on tackling anti-social behaviour (ASB) and Drug Dealing around the Ridgeway & Aston Close area, nuisance driving and motor offences around Infinity Park Way & targeting the use of illegal e-scooters and nuisance motor bikes across Chellaston.
The team have achieved the following:
- We completed 47 stop searches across Sinfin & Chellaston, conducting both plain clothes and uniformed patrols in the area, aimed at disrupting criminality and making our streets safer.
- Conducted numerous high visibility patrols in marked Police cars to patrol Infinity Park Way and issued multiple Traffic Offence Reports which included seizing numerous vehicles.
- My PCSOs have arranged and hosted multiple pop-up community events and street-meets alongside partner agencies and businesses to raise awareness of ASB and promote reporting.
- Conducted numerous evening proactive patrols targeting hotspot areas in relation to acquisitive crime and ASB and engage with both residents and employer/employees in the area to ensure their voice is heard and concerns addressed.
- Several E-Scooters seized using the road traffic act powers.
This leads me onto the upcoming months, where my aim is to take on the feedback you have provided us (via engagements and the Derbyshire Alert surveys) and tell you of our focuses & priorities for the next yearly quarter between July to September. ❗
- To further target ASB and drug dealing in and around the Ridgeway & Aston Close area, with proactive patrols focusing on stop / searches and developing community intelligence.
- To target the continued use of illegal and nuisance e-scooters and motorbikes in the area, along with actively patrolling the canal paths through the area from Chellaston, into Shelton Lock and up to Alvaston. We also aim to engage and promote a better understanding around laws for E-Scooters.
- To actively patrol and target a reduction in reports of vehicle interference and theft from motor vehicles. We aim to do this by increasing patrols in the area but also educating and engaging with drivers around their vehicle safety.
On top of these, there will also be an additional Priority as part of the local Youth Engagement Team which has identified via conversations and engagements with young people in the area who want to see a greater Policing presence in public places, especially focused around the canal path and underpasses of the area. 🌳
Our priorities are set at the start of each quarter and are based off community feedback, obtained via various methods which include comments on social media, conversations that you the public have with my PCs and PCSOs. This also includes ongoing surveys the PCSOs complete with the community to gauge your feedback and feelings on what you’d like Police to focus on. We take on various other forms of feedback using partner agencies, such as the CSP (Community Safety Partnership), local Councillors & housing providers. 🚓
