Rural Crime & Engagement

Rural crime is an issue for large areas of the country, but it tends to go unreported. It can impact on insurance premiums, food prices, the environment, and can damage local communities.

The Honiton Neighbourhood Team are conducting a visible presence in the rural community to offer reassurance and crime prevention. The aim is to improve connectivity with the rural communities and provide education to users of our beautiful countryside. This includes attending rural events to gain knowledge about the issues effecting the rural communities and to offer the crime prevention advice.

Issued 23 December 2025

We have conducted numerous high visibility patrols in our rural areas over the last month.
We have also visited and offered crime prevention advice to local residents following further crimes report to the police.

we will continue to patrol our rural areas over the following month and have plans for some proactive days and events.
