This one-day conference focuses specifically on the challenges to rural authorities in reducing crime and disorder in the countryside and examines the issues from both district and county council perspectives.
The conference comes at a time of debate over policing levels – highlighted by the recent police force merger proposals and will examine central government initiatives that impact on rural authorities. These include the rollout and challenges of the neighbourhood policing
programme, the use of Police Community Support Officers in rural areas, the reassurance agenda, the Crime and Disorder Act Review and the challenges of partnership working within geographically dispersed agencies.
The conference will look at additional concerns of rural authorities such as antisocial behaviour due to seasonal influx, the challenges of tourism and the spread of resources and co-ordination of agencies.
In recognition of the different priorities of district and county councils the conference provides specific forums through parallel streaming for delegates from district and county councils to separately examine rural crime and disorder issues and share best practice.
