 The stock and rural crime squad is exactly that it's broken up into two parts stock and rural crime So firstly with the stock side of things you're dealing with an asset there that you know members of the community own They're worth quite a bit of money. So they go missing from time to time either At the hands of other people or sometimes they just go through Means of their own they may wonder so it's our job to investigate those and work out whether there is an offense occurring there So part of the stocks world we are focusing on our Recent project gatekeeper. This is it focusing on People that unlawfully go into someone else's land and trespass and that directly can lead to people shooting on land which can danger people's lives also can lead to stock being injured not just livestock, but other native animals which of course is an offense and Opportunistic theft where people may see a vehicle that has keys left in it on the farm because the owner of the vehicle is out mastering And people can take advantage of that. So part of this project is to try and really reduce the theft on rural properties People can access it through the the blog site here Which is a bit of an innovation through the police service see a little bit more modern and Reduce that whole rural theft you're dealing with livestock here that haven't has a mind of its own and four legs.

They got to be able to talk
