Peregrine Falcons across Derbyshire have long been subject to raptor persecution such as raiding their nests for eggs, poisonings, shootings and trappings. Tackling raptor persecution is a national Police wildlife crime priority but we can all do more.
This new role seeks to reduce these appalling wildlife crimes by working in partnership with RSPB, Local Raptor Groups and Derbyshire Constabulary to ensure a coordinated approach to the protection of these iconic birds throughout the country.
