I recently met with Inspector Allison Wiggin at Warwickshire Police to discuss the launch of the first Warwickshire Rural Crime Team dedicated to reducing rural crime across the county. The launch of the new team coincides with the national Wildlife and Rural Crime Week of Action for all forces running from the 6 to 13 October.
The team is based at Greys Mallory near Warwick, but each officer will have geographical ownership of a part of Warwickshire. Their first priority will be to start building up links with the rural community, developing relationships and recognising where we need to address emerging trends in line with our strategy. Sgt Bob Shaw will lead the new Rural Crime Team that consists of four officers and a Rural Crime Officer.
If you have a rural crime concern you can get in touch with the team by emailing [email protected] or calling them on 01926 415478.
