RURAL residents are being given one last chance to have their say in a survey into policing, crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB) in their communities.
Cleveland’s Police and Crime Commissioner, Barry Coppinger, believes the National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) survey ties in perfectly with his own 'Your Force, Your Voice' initiative.
They want to know the impact of crime and ASB on communities, how the police can better serve rural communities and ultimately the future of crime prevention and rural policing.
Mr Coppinger said: “Through my ‘Your Force, Your Voice’ initiative I have visited communities from all areas of Cleveland, including rural parts, and I understand the distress that can be caused when often isolated victims are targeted.
“Cleveland Police is undertaking a lot of work currently to better understand rural issues and the results of this survey will be a key part of this work.”
The National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) is supported by 30 Police and Crime Commissioners and police forces across England and Wales. The Network, established in July 2014, includes a wide range of organisations with an interest in community safety and rural affairs such as the National Farmers Union, Historic England, Neighbourhood Watch and Crimestoppers.
