Farming communities can be subject to a range of serious crimes and, as farms are family homes as well as thriving small businesses, these crimes can have a severe impact.

»Ê¼Ò»ªÈËis the leading rural organisation raising the issue of rural crime to the highest levels of government, the police and local authorities.

We are calling for a coordinated approach from everyone to address rural crime.

We are urging NFU members to report all rural crime to ensure police can investigate thoroughly. The police also keep records of all reported crime and this information goes into government statistics and reports.

Farmers should also ensure they take suitable prevention measures.

This guide offers advice on how to report crime effectively and take measures to protect your farm business.
