Working with the Police
Despite resource challenges, Avon & Somerset police are providing some great support and security advice - link to ITV special programme
We're glad to be working with Avon & Somerset Police to help combat rural crime and unwelcome interference.
It's really good to see awareness and effectiveness of the FarmWatch
and HorseWatch
schemes growing, along with help and advice from their wildlife crime, security and PSCO's & PCs.
This week, PSCO Linda and PC Ben visited the Exmoor ponies to continue their community support and security advice, after some unwelcome recent interference with our ponies.
ITV West Country News
broadcast a special news programme "The Police at Breaking Point"
last night (17 January) about the challenges the Avon & Somerset police are facing in trying to keep us all safe, while battling with inadequate resources. We feature in the programme at about 17 minutes in. Here's the link on the ITV West Country News Facebook page if you'd like to watch it: https://www.facebook.com/ITVWestcountry/videos/246869299537806/
Regarding people causing trouble with ponies, if you have any information about this, please contact Avon & Somerset police. Thank you.
