Crime prevention on the farm

The events will include a walk around the farmyard with a Crime Prevention Officer who will suggest the most appropriate security equipment for the location and the host farmer's needs.

On each evening will be attended by a security who can supply cameras, alarm systems, etc; a machinery dealership capable of fitting vehicle tracking devices; Intelligent Band whose equipment prevents any unauthorised user from starting vehicles which have been fitted with the Intelligent Band system and by SmartWater.

The events will run alongside the 'Stop That Thief' campaign, to assist victims of theft by installing security equipment to try and prevent future losses. These will be installed free of charge for three weeks, after which, the victim has an opportunity to buy the equipment or it can be removed.
