Police and Crime Commissioner for Suffolk
I am putting myself forward to be re-elected as chair of the NRCN, having had the privilege of being chairman for the last three years. I have a farming background and have lived in Suffolk all my life and have had extensive business experience in the rural and agricultural economy nationally and across four continents.
Whilst good progress has been made on raising the profile of the serious and damaging consequences of crime especially for the victims much work remains to be done to ensure the issue is taken far more seriously by all levels of government, The Home Office, Ministry of Justice and DEFRA.
Set out below are some key issues the NRCN I suggest the network continues to address subject to the wishes of the membership and board.
Rural homes and business pay their share of taxes and deserve a much better share of policing resources, especially as the pattern of crime has changed with every crime now having a digital footprint regardless of urban of rural location.
Your sincerely,
Police and Crime Commissioner for Cheshire
