New Year Focus on Combating Rural Crime

Landowners, farmers and businesses across Devon and Cornwall will be joining forces with the police early in the New Year to host two major events aimed at combating rural crime.

The events, titled ‘Preventing Crime in Rural Communities' take place in February and bring together representatives of the Country Land and Business Association, the National Farmers’ Union and the Devon and Cornwall Police along with experts from private security firms, the insurance industry and specialist equipment suppliers who will all be looking at the ways and means of preventing crime in rural communities.

Rural crime costs millions of pounds a year; it impacts on police resources and on insurance premiums – which makes reducing rural crime a key policy area for both police and representative organisations.

The events, which are sponsored by regional law firm, Foot Anstey and the NFU Mutual Insurance Society, will take place at Westpoint, Exeter on 1 February and at the Pavilion at the Royal Cornwall Show ground, Wadebridge, on 15 February. Both events are free of charge and offer a one-stop- shop style advisory service as well as an exhibition and trade stands, all focused on crime prevention. Seminars will operate on a “drop in” basis with sessions throughout the day examining different aspects of the law and the whole range of rural crime from farm and estate security to wildlife and equestrian crime.

One focus of the day will be to look at whether individuals and businesses are doing all they can to reduce opportunities for criminals.

Bob Bunney, crime reduction advisor with Devon and Cornwall Police, said: “We are very keen to help people understand how to take control of the situation, to learn exactly how much they can do themselves to help reduce rural crime and then to offer clear information about how to act and who to contact.”

CLA South West Director, John Mortimer will introduce a keynote speech from Assistant Chief Constable, Paul Netherton - who will talk about the reality of rural policing and the options for the future – and from NFU Vice President, Adam Quinney. A representative of the NFU Mutual Insurance Society will speak about the impact of rural crime on the insurance industry.

Mr Mortimer said: “We welcome this opportunity of working with the NFU and Devon and Cornwall police to highlight the growing menace of rural crime – and to explore ways of combating it.

“What is frequently not understood is that the true cost of farm theft and other rural crime is more than simply the value of the items taken. There is the cost of lost production time, of repairing the damage caused plus the risk of livestock straying due to gates being left open or fencing taken down.

“These events aim to improve awareness of the opportunities to reduce crime and to help the police engage with CLA and NFU members - and the wider rural

Community - in a drive to improve communications and deliver a service that meets expectations,” he said.
