Known issues
Callers sometimes experience long wait times during peak hours or due to high call volumes. It is advisable to use online contact forms or call during off-peak hours to minimize waiting. Occasionally, calls are misdirected to the Police and Crime Commissioner's office instead of Derbyshire Constabulary. In such cases, callers are redirected to the correct department or given the appropriate contact number. To avoid these issues, ensure you select the correct options from the automated menu and have all necessary information ready before calling.
