More than 2,260 people completed Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts’ online survey determining how much residents are prepared to pay to maintain a strong and effective policing service – the highest ever response to a police budget poll in Derbyshire. 

Of the 2,265 residents who responded to the PCC’s survey, more than 75% said they were in favour of an increase of £12 or more, while 68.5% said they were in favour of an increase of £15 or more in the money they pay towards policing to help keep Derbyshire safe.

More than 180 responses were received in each Local Authority area with support for a rise consistent across all demographics, with mostly 70% or more of residents from each group backing an increase of £12 or more.
