Working in Information Services
In Information Services, we’re responsible for continually reviewing and improving the technologically-based services and business processes we provide to meet the force’s strategic aims.
Our aim is to deliver the technology that will achieve digital excellence right across the force. Along the way, we work on some really interesting projects. Plans as varied as mobile device optimisation, launching drones to provide live streaming at major incidents or moving our technology to a hybrid approach for cloud storage. We positively develop our people, through individual ‘check-in’ sessions, relevant role-based training to support future technology and shadowing to help staff to better understand growth areas.
To work here you need honesty, dedication, commitment, and an agile and flexible team-based approach. You also need to be calm under pressure, a good decision maker and communicator with great customer service and problem-solving skills. A real desire to work in an exciting, fast moving and diverse technology environment where you’ll get directly involved with officers and staff alike to enhance our service to the public is important too.

Ed West, Business Systems Administrator
I’d always wanted to be involved in helping to protect and aid the public. I was also attracted by the challenge of the ever-changing landscape of technology in policing and the opportunities that come with it. I currently help to support and implement features on the police mobile app.
I did an apprenticeship in Business Management and Administration before joining the force in 2017. I’ve since achieved ITIL certification in Service Management and been part of the Force’s Development Programme, which has given me invaluable experience for the future. The people here are friendly and keen to help and everyone’s encouraged to come up with ideas.

Nicola Green, IT Service Desk Manager
I started my career as a library assistant at a University and worked my way up to service desk manager. I’d often heard what a good organisation Derbyshire Constabulary was to work for - and the rumours were true! I quickly came to realise that working here really does feel like a family.
I love being in a frontline customer facing role and leading a team with a great mix of skills and experience. The organisation’s fully supportive and has a very open and friendly feeling. I’d worked for my previous employer for 28 years, so it was a huge step for me. But, I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Melanie Hampton, Digital Business Analyst
I’d worked for Derbyshire Constabulary before and really enjoyed it, so when I saw this role advertised I was keen to return. My team is focused on delivering and optimising digital solutions for the Constabulary. It’s a very busy and exciting environment, with various innovation and IT enabling projects on the go.
The exposure to such diverse projects makes my job incredibly interesting and rewarding and the huge variety of technology we use is unlike anywhere I’ve worked before. My colleagues are really supportive and friendly and there are lots of opportunities to broaden your knowledge. Also, knowing that my work supports frontline staff really does make it a great place to work.
