Hare Coursing

As we move into Autumn we traditionally see an increase in hare coursing. This activity is illegal and causes damage and disruption to the land it takes place on. Local officers will be focussing their efforts on patrolling areas know to be used by hare courses and other rural locations at risk. Officers will look to deter any offences taking place and deal robustly where offences are found to have been committed. They will also look to identify areas at risk and offer security and target hardening advice to land owners where possible.
