Welcoming the new recruits to the force, Deputy Chief Constable Gary Knighton, said: “I am delighted to welcome our new officers to Derbyshire Constabulary.

“It’s great to see a new wave of police officers ready to take to the streets of Derbyshire. Each brings their own unique strengths, skills and experiences and will be an asset to the communities they serve.

“It is important that we get fresh ideas from new people coming into the organisation and I believe that these new recruits can do a great job to protect the communities of Derbyshire.”

A former firefighter, an ambulance driver, a nanny and a veterinary nurse were among those to be sworn as Derbyshire police officers.
