Collaboration Agreements

Working together across the East Midlands

Under the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Officers have a duty to consider collaboration where it is in the interests of the efficiency and effectiveness.

Nottinghamshire Police and its neighbouring forces in the East Midlands have been at the forefront of collaborative policing in the UK for more than a decade.

In fact, the East Midlands Police Collaboration Programme is the largest project of its kind in the UK, serving a population of almost 5 million people living in a region of more than 6,000 square miles, an area which incorporates landmarks such as the world-famous Silverstone motor racing circuit in southern Northamptonshire, the Lincolnshire coast to the east and the Peak District National Park at its north-western edge.

Under the collaboration arrangements, the five forces of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and Nottinghamshire are working together in many different areas vital to policing, ranging from those national strategic threats outlined in the Strategic Policing Requirement, major crime investigation through to IT infrastructure.
