Derbyshire Police officers have made communities safer with more than 9,000 hours of extra patrols across the county in the last year.
Those on hotspot patrols have prevented drug deals, found vulnerable missing people, and addressed nuisance behaviour targeting local businesses, conducting 111 arrests and speaking to more than 30,000 people.
This addresses the concerns of local communities and means more officers out on the streets.
In the past twelve months, officers on hotspot duties have conducted 111 arrests, spent 9,872 hours of time on patrols, taken 270 crime reports, spoken with more than 30,000 people, given out 159 dispersal orders, telling people who were causing problems in the area to leave and have logged 315 pieces of intelligence, for example details from the public about crimes happening in their area.
