Rural crime continues to be underestimated — its impact on livelihoods, wellbeing, and the wider rural economy reaches far beyond what current statistics reveal. Through dedicated research, strong partnerships, and innovative pilot projects, the National Rural Crime Network unites police, government, industry leaders, and rural communities to bring clarity to the challenges facing rural areas.

We are committed to delivering meaningful change. Our project delivery groups focus on the most pressing issues facing rural communities, working collaboratively to turn insight into action and ensure long-lasting improvements for the people who live and work in the countryside.
