Dedicated community co-ordinators in each Farm Watch area will have a direct link to a local policing team. This allows us to share information about criminal, anti-social and suspicious behaviour in your area that will contribute to reducing crime and improving the quality of life in that area

The aims of the scheme are to:

• Increase the prevention and detection of farm related crime
• Increase community engagement between individual members, the police and other farming related groups
• Reduce the fear of crime in your community
• Increase public confidence in the police and other involved agencies
