Connecting Global Insight To Local Action.
The NRCN International Project Delivery Group (PDG) shares research, intelligence, and best practice
With global partners to tackle crimes that cross borders.
About The Group
Rural crime doesn’t stop at the border — from equipment theft to trafficking, it demands international cooperation. This PDG ensures the UK remains a global leader in rural safety innovation and partnership.
Objectives
Strengthen international collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Research cross-border crime trends and prevention models.
Build joint solutions with global policing and NGO partners.
Current Priorities
Our PDGs are our operational core strategies for 2025–2028, ensuring that our work is
focused, collaborative, and aligned with our strategic goals.
European Data Exchange Partnership
A joint intelligence effort that helps partners track trends in rural theft, trafficking, and organised crime across borders. The aim is fast, shared insight so forces and agencies can spot patterns earlier and respond with coordinated action.
Global Rural Threat Insights Programme
A continuous intelligence sharing initiative that connects policing bodies and research partners worldwide. It monitors shifting tactics in equipment theft, trafficking patterns, and emerging rural cybercrime, turning global insight into practical guidance for UK communities and agencies.
International Best Practice Library
A curated collection of case studies, proven interventions, and comparative research from partner nations. It gives practitioners a quick way to learn what works elsewhere and apply it to their own rural safety challenges.
