In this episode we will discuss the threats and challenges of rural crime and how you can better protect yourself, your family, and your business against criminals trying to exploit you for their own personal gain.

CLA Rural Adviser Libby Bateman highlights the three key challenges land and business owners face in rural crime: cybercrime, wildlife crime, and machinery theft. 

Rebecca Chapman, from the North East Business Resilience Centre, shares with us the biggest risk for landowners in terms of cyber-attack and the steps in place to help business resilience. 

Chief Inspector Kevin Kelly, of the National Wildlife Crime Unit, discusses the main issues of wildlife crime, and what farmers and landowners can do to prevent this from happening on their land. 

We are also joined by the National Police Chiefs’ Council’s lead on machinery theft, Superintendent Andy Huddleston from Northumbria Police, who explains the prevalence of machinery theft and what manufacturers and insurance companies can do to tackle the problem
