Rural crime team at work Police in Wiltshire have increased patrols amid a crackdown on rural crime. This weekend (Saturday 13 March) Wiltshire Police’s Rural Crime Team were joined by members of the Special Constabulary and the Ministry of Defence Police to carry out a dedicated day of action to target areas known for poaching offences and hare coursing. Officers are working to put on more “intelligence-led patrols” at all hours of the day and night to locate offenders. Making use of local contacts, such as community policing teams, as well as more specialised organisations, such as the police’s drone unit, the Rural Crime Team say they are doing “all that we can to track down offenders and investigate all angles to prosecute.”

Two sons have been barred from their mum s house in Plymouth following a court ruling.
8 March 2021
With the theme for this year’s International Women’s Day (8 March) being “Choose to Challenge”, we focus on the ongoing challenge to improve representation of women in the Ministry of Defence Police (
MDP) and more widely in UK armed policing roles.
This year marks the
MDP’s 50th anniversary, having been first established in October 1971. At that time there were no female police officers in the force. It was not until 1974 that 2 female sergeants transferred into the
MDP from Strathclyde Police. The first 4 female recruits then started their training in 1975.
The
MDP is now a very different and much more diverse organisation, with women represented at all ranks from Constable to Assistant Chief Constable, working in the same roles, with the same kit and the same weapons as their male colleagues. There has clearly been much progress but, the need to encourage more women to pursue a career in armed policing is still present.
