What you could be doing | Crime Support
We’re using increasingly sophisticated techniques to protect our community
Crime Support
Crime Support is made up of a number of specialist sections. Each section employs highly skilled officers and makes full use of the latest equipment and technology, alongside sophisticated working practices and techniques, to investigate and prevent offences. Ultimately, our work protects people - especially those who are the most vulnerable within our community.
We work closely with other regional forces and agencies too, including the National Crime Agency, UK Human Trafficking Centre, and HM Customs & Excise, to combat serious and organised crime, including terrorism.

David Ball, Temporary Detective Chief Inspector
My granddad was a police inspector in Nottinghamshire and he ultimately said he joined the police because he wanted to help people. And so to me he was a bit of a role model at the time and I thought, "that’s what I want to do".
My advice to somebody who wanted to go down the intelligence route is learn the intelligence model, what does that practically look like? Try and get yourself an attachment to the division, the intelligence unit. Being energetic in terms of your pursuit of the truth around intelligence.

Paul Carrington, Detective Inspector and Operation Lead
I initially worked for the Constabulary as a communications officer, having joined the force as a Constable in 1990. During my career I’ve seen many changes and difficult times when we operated without a license. However, I’ve also seen Derbyshire progress to be one of the best forces in the country.
I’ve enjoyed each and every role and worked with some fantastic colleagues. The majority of my roles have been in CID, PPU and Specialist Units as I’m fascinated by crime investigation. I’m also proud to be part of a forward thinking organization that’s always been supportive and, as a result, made me a better person, officer and colleague.
