Rural crime
Rural crime has a huge negative impact on the communities it affects - but it can be tackled.
Rural crime is repetitive and organised, but without information it can’t be tackled. Criminal gangs exploit our local wildlife, environment and communities, putting those who live and work in the countryside under threat.
Rural communities are often aware of criminal activity that is happening, but for a variety of reasons they may not want to talk to the police; that’s why the existence and availability of our anonymous service is so important.

Environmental crime
Organised criminals attack rural environments in a variety of ways, from large scale illegal dumping to heritage crime, having detrimental impacts on surrounding wildlife, livestock and communities.
Wildlife crime
Wildlife crime covers a range of unlawful actions against our wild animals and plants. Rural communities are particularly vulnerable to this crime due to their abundance of natural habitats for wildlife.
Theft
Rural theft has huge financial repercussions for those who rely on livestock and machinery for their livelihood, and it can also leave rural communities feeling vulnerable and fearful for personal safety.
