Avon and Somerset Police Rural Affairs Unit

Your local Rural Affairs Unit is here to provide you with support and information and to help safeguard your livelihood. 

Having your home and work life in the countryside has many benefits, but it also comes with a threat of rural crime.  With some barns located far from the home, equipment, livestock and vehicles, can very quickly be transported hundreds of miles away.

Together with Avon and Somerset Police Rural Affairs Unit, we would like to raise awareness of how to report rural crime and offer resources to protect your home and business. 

If you would like to report a crime or any suspicious activities, you can:

• Call 999 in an Emergency

• Call 101 in a non-emergency

• Report an incident Online (non-emergency)

For information and advice on preventing rural crime in your area, see the Avon and Somerset Police Rural Affairs Team resource section below.
