Working together to prevent rural crime
It's no secret, rural crime is a hot topic in the farming community. To help prevent rural crime, we must work together.
We work closely with the South West Rural Crime Teams to report and keep in touch with any crime hot spots or spikes in trends.
Working with Rural Crime Teams, we have created resources, guides and checklists to:
- Help the farming community protect their livestock
- Help farmers to keep their farm buildings and contents safe from rural crime activities
