Insp Darren Starkey

Hillsborough Safer Neighbourhood Team are a local police team, led by Inspector Darren Starkey, consisting of Police Officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), based at Hammerton Road and Deepcar Police Stations.

Officers who provide a 24/7 response to on-going incidents also work from these police stations.

We cover a population of over 78000 residents over a large geographical area.

We work closely with Sheffield City Council, Sheffield Homes, Pennine Housing, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue, other registered social landlords and a wide range activity providers to tackle antisocial behaviour and crime.

As part of our structured programme of community engagement, twice a month we visit crime and antisocial behaviour hotspots with our mobile police station to let the community know what we are doing, provide crime reduction advice, enhance our patrols and give you the opportunity to speak to us about local concerns. This has replaced our old formal PACT meeting process because attendance was low due to a number of reasons, mainly being the public having to travel some distance to the meetings and use of suitable premises.  We hope this will benefit the community and in turn influence our work.

If you wish to contact us for non-urgent matters you can email on

In case of emergency please ring 999 and for all other cases please ring 0114 2202020 to report a crime or antisocial behaviour.

We are now on facebook and the Sheffield Forum and post updates as to what is happening across the area.  Please link up to us on Facebook to find out more.
