Rural Enforcement

Poaching offences and many other aspects of wildlife crime happen regularly all over the country involving the illegal taking of deer, fish, game and hare coursing.
The days of the romantic image of the village poacher creeping around the woods to take ‘one for the pot’ and playing hide and seek with the game keeper are long gone. He has been replaced by organised gangs with modern vehicles who are looking to make money on the lucrative illegal game market.
Poaching blights our communities – in and around towns and cities and in rural areas. Illegal activity associated with poaching can distort the community’s views about all who engage in legal shooting and fishing, and it is in all our interests to work together to address it.

Our Rural Enforcement Team are all SIA licensed highly experienced within the industry. They carry out regular patrols of your farm, both on foot and in vehicles and, if needed with a dedicated dog handler. Regularly checking for diesel thefts from vehicles and if there is an incident where we catch someone on your land we will detain them until the police arrive. We can also install cameras on pheasant and lambing pens to keep a watchful eye from your mobile phone.

Farm Security NFU Survey

By Matt Wiles • 02 Jun, 2021

A NEW survey by the NFU shows that over the past 12 months, one in three farmers has been a victim of crime, with Yorkshire farmers spending more than the national average on crime prevention measures. The NFU says it is, therefore, crucial that candidates in the forthcoming Police & Crime Commissioner elections commit to prioritise rural crime as a strategic objective. The survey, carried out by the NFU with nearly 2,000 farmers across the country, highlighted the extent to which rural areas are being actively targeted by criminals. It also focused on the cost of crime to farm businesses, how often crimes are reported and how farmers feel about the police response as well as how much farmers are spending on crime prevention. Nationally, farmers reported facing average losses of £4,400 as a result of rural crime and nearly 60 per cent of respondents said they believed crime levels were increasing. Reporting levels were good, with 60 per cent saying they reported the most recent incident to the police. But, of those that failed to do so, three out of five said it was because no police response was expected. While more than half of respondents felt that insufficient police resource was devoted to tackling rural crime, a slight majority (53 per cent) felt that the police had taken sufficient action when they reported the most recent crime. “The impact of crime on farms across our patch is the most common problem farmers raise with us time after time,” said NFU North East Regional Director, Adam Bedford.
