Richmondshire District covers 509 square miles and is actually larger than four English counties, but only around 52,000 people live within its boundaries.

Current Priorities

Issue

Rural acquisitive crime

Action

Targeting and disruption of travelling criminals and organised crime groups involved in acquisitive crime by way of quad and farm vehicle and equipment theft. This involves working jointly with neighbouring forces, supported by key volunteer groups such as Dales Watch and working alongside our own Rural Task Force. This priority will also encompass target hardening initiatives such as offering security advice and property marking by way of DNA marking kits.

Issue

Targeting persons involved in the supply of drugs

Action

We shall continue to take all opportunities, led by information and intelligence to disrupt persons and criminal activity linked to the supply of drugs and the commonly linked exploitation of vulnerable individuals.
