The National Rural Crime Network (NRCN) is developing its strategy for 2025–2028 — and your voice matters.
Your responses will directly inform our campaigns, policy asks, research focus, and governance structures as we advocate for safer rural, heritage and wildlife environments.

And
A criminal activity that can take place anywhere, but which possess distinctive characteristics due to specific issues associated with rural communities such as geographical isolation, vulnerability, challenges in rural policing.
