An event facilitated by the Police Crime Prevention Academy has seen officers and staff from Norfolk Constabulary adding to their crime prevention capabilities to support Norfolk’s rural and farming communities.
The rural issues event hosted by Easton College, near Norwich, followed on from local delivery of an accredited Level 3 crime prevention qualification by the Academy to 25 police officers and staff from Norfolk.
The qualification enhances officers’ skills, knowledge and expertise in crime prevention, helping to increase the capacity of local communities to play an effective role in preventing crime and anti-social behaviour.
Nick Roach, Police Liaison for Selectamark, gave a presentation and practical demonstration at the event around what we can offer for tackling the county’s rural crime issues.
Nick said “We have a long history of working with Norfolk Constabulary so it was great to bring officers up to speed on the products we have available for use in a rural environment, to both prevent and detect crime and in some cases provide conclusive evidence to secure convictions.
“I was especially excited to demonstrate the fact that we have a search dog who can detect Selectamark products. We are the only forensics company in the world that have this capability and it makes the search for marked items much easier.
“SelectaDNA is being used all over the country to reduce instances of acquisitive crime and we are positive it will have the same impact on Norfolk’s rural communities.”
