Completely commend NFU Mutual for supporting police initiatives but more support directly for farmers at "grassroots" level is needed.
Generic advice only is not sufficient to help farmers help the police in the collective fight against rural crime.

@nfum#RuralCrimeReport Always an interesting report, if somewhat saddened to read that rural crime has increased 4.3% from 2022 to 2023 (costing £52.8m over the reporting period for '23).

@moogfood@1GarethWynJones I have seen the size of tractors/trailers/tankers.
How many members of the general public have been injured or killed as a result of the poor health of farmers?
How many fisherman have been killed on the job because of their, or another's, poor health?
@moogfood@1GarethWynJones ????
Not sure what your point is?
A side issue... "Most sensible farmers regulate themselves"
"Most" is all well and good, but is no guarantee that there are NO risks to the general public.
So how do you guarantee there are NO risks to the general public?
Regulate.
@1GarethWynJones I do think this is a disproportionate response to a low risk situation.
Fisherfolk and farmers tend to be a lot more active, aka 'fitter', than the average HGV driver.
Curious what the actual motivation/agenda for this regulation is. HSE jobs worth, or something more sinister?
@1GarethWynJones HGV drivers require medicals from 40, every five years.
I think it becomes annual later in life, but not sure. The difference is, HGV drivers put other road users at risk. Fisherman/women/people 🤷♂️ put themselves at risk, and I suppose any rescue effort too.

@NCATT_UKPolice@RuralCrimeNtwk Exactly how CCTV should work.
Good teamwork by the property owner and @DurhamPolice - with the appropriate timely response! 👍👍

Ciao for now! 🍝🍕
It's day 2 of #NeighbourhoodPolicingWeek. Today, we're shining a light on PCSO, Jordan Bayles from Shildon NPT.
Jordan recency chased down and detained a burglar attempting to steal from a local Italian, Santinni's.

Ranger does not sell CCTV, but are you thinking of buying some?
Make sure the system informs you of a concern immediately.
If you are not notified straight away, then it is just as good as a sleeping security guard (we don't sell them either!)
@NCATT_UKPolice@RuralCrimeNtwk
@NCATT_UKPolice@RuralCrimeNtwk And make sure you have a plan prepared if you find criminals on your property!
The plan has to keep you safe and keep you legal.
What are YOU going to do if it happens to you?

@FWAbiKay You know you're probably doing something right when you're ruffling feathers.
People react badly when their perceived 'authority' is challenged. And that is usually a sign for much needed change.
Keep up the good work.
@BigEdBanthorp You have to work when the crop is ready and the weather gives you the window of opportunity.
It's a handful of nights out of the year, for the benefit of everyone. Other's just don't see that, and its all about them.
Why live/move next to a farm and then complain about it?
