Hampshire Constabulary

Hampshire Constabulary has dedicated Country Watch teams across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The main aims of Country Watch are to reduce rural crime, reassure rural residents and improve communication and engagement. The company's dedicated Country Watch officers work closely with the company's rural communities to provide engagement, educatio... n and reassurance on the issues that matter most to them. The teams also identify and disrupt, through proactive operations, those who are intent on committing offences in the company's rural areas. The company is determined to not only target those who commit these crimes, but to also reduce opportunities for crime to take place and make it a hostile environment for travelling criminals. The company works with neighbouring forces and use the full range of tactics available to the company to target and disrupt individuals and groups who clearly demonstrate a propensity for criminality and target vulnerable areas. The company also work closely with partner agencies and communicate directly with the networks that exist within the rural community to highlight issues and engage with them to build strong relationships and increase their confidence in the company's ability to provide a visible policing presence in the areas that matter to them. The company's communities are vital in helping the company tackle crime. They are the company's eyes and ears and know the areas in which they live. By encouraging them to report any suspicious activity when they see it, the company can respond to their concerns and work with them to make their communities even safer.
