Burglary and theft

This is sometimes referred to as 'acquisitive crime.' It includes domestic burglary, theft of a motor vehicle and robbery.

Burglary and theft can have a large impact on a victim and the local community so our partners in community safety work together to reduce these crimes.

Derbyshire police have information on keeping your home safe, with door and window security advice, garden, and shed security. It also advises that your local community should launch a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme, to share knowledge and information on keeping safe as well as looking out for one another.

To report a crime taking place, tel: 999. If you want to report a crime, have concerns about your area or want to make an enquiry, tel: 101.

For advice about specific products that you can buy to improve the security of your home, and protect your pedal cycle or motorbike, the police recommend looking at the Sold Secure website, where you can search for approved secure products.
