Free Rural Crime Reduction Workshop

Rural SafeGuard is hosting two free Rural Crime Reduction Workshops, delivered in partnership with the South Pennine Farmers’ Group and facilitated by Chartered Security Professionals Frank Cannon and Charlie Frank, co-hosts of the Close the Farm Gate podcast

Designed for farmers, land managers, rural businesses and professionals working across the countryside, this practical workshop will help delegates understand criminal tactics, identify vulnerabilities, assess and prioritise crime risks, and implement affordable, proportionate measures to better protect their businesses and assets.

The workshop is focused on raising awareness, reducing complacency, and equipping attendees with practical knowledge not creating security specialists. Participants will also learn where to access trusted and verified support.
