Stay safe

It's the season for Christmas parties, festive lunches and family get togethers.

Unfortunately, this also means that we see a rise in drink and drug drivers, who risk more than just their own lives when they get behind the wheel.

You can do your part in preventing drink or drug driving by calling out loved ones' behaviours, and reporting to us when you think someone is at risk.

If you see someone who you believe may be driving whilst under the influence of drink or drugs and the crime is happening at the time, please ring us on 999.

If you have intelligence on a habitual drink or drug driver who you know repeats this behaviour regularly, please send us a direct message on our main Facebook page, via 101 or report it on Derbyshire Constabulary’s main website.

Let's look out for each other and make sure we can all enjoy our festive season together.

From the Stonebroom, Pilsley, Shirland and Morton Team, we wish you a very Merry Christmas and a safe 2026.
