“We are also working closely with partner agencies, including Chesterfield Borough Council, to help stop the cycle of addiction that causes such damage.
“However, to do that we rely on our communities passing information in relation to drug dealing in their area.
“While you may not see action taken straightaway, please be assured that all information will help develop intelligence relating to criminal activity and ensure officers have the latest information to inform their investigations.”
