About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

    Rural Crime – Please Report Suspicious Activity

    Rural crime continues to have a significant impact on our farming and countryside communities. Offences such as poaching, hare coursing, and the theft of farm equipment or livestock can cause major disruption, financial loss, and emotional distress.

    A key challenge is that many incidents go unreported. Members of the public may assume a vehicle in a field belongs to a farmer or contractor, or that someone walking dogs across farmland is simply exercising them. In some cases, however, this behaviour may be linked to illegal hunting or poaching.

    Why Reporting Matters

    Every report helps us build a clearer picture of what is happening across our rural areas. Even small or seemingly harmless incidents may be crucial for identifying patterns, directing patrols, or supporting future policing operations.

    Your reports directly help the rural crime team tackle:

    • Hare coursing and deer poaching
    • Theft of machinery, tools, diesel, and livestock
    • Damage to crops, fences, and gates
    • Suspicious vehicles or unknown individuals on farmland
    What to Look Out For

    Please report anything that seems unusual, such as:

    • Vehicles driving slowly, parked in remote areas, or positioned overlooking fields
    • People watching livestock, farm buildings, or fields without a clear reason
    • Dogs being used to chase wildlife
    • Unfamiliar individuals entering fields or woodland without permission

    If in doubt — report it anyway. We would rather check and find nothing than miss essential information.How to Report
    • 999– If a crime is in progress or someone is in immediate danger
    • 101– For non‑emergency reports or ongoing suspicious activity
    • Online– www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/report

    You can also contact your local Neighbourhood Policing Team via the Avon & Somerset Police website for non‑urgent concerns or advice on rural crime.

    Issued 04 August 2026

    Action taken:

    In August, the Frome and Shepton Mallet Neighbourhood Policing Team conducted a proactive operation aimed at tackling rural crime across our communities.

    The operation was a great success, with officers identifying numerous illegal vehicles and gathering valuable evidence to support ongoing investigations and future enforcement activity.
    These proactive efforts demonstrate our continued commitment to tackling rural crime, protecting local communities, and bringing offenders to justice.

    Actioned 02 September 2026

  • Priority:

    We are aware of concerns regarding drug use and suspected drug dealing in some of the rural areas and are working to identify those involved and take appropriate action.

    We encourage residents to report suspicious activity such as frequent short visits to an address, people exchanging items or cash in public places, unusual vehicle movements, strong smells of cannabis, or groups regularly gathering in locations where drug use or dealing is suspected. Even small pieces of information can help us build an intelligence picture and take action.

    Reports can be made via 101, online, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Working together, we can help keep our communities safe.

     

    Issued 05 August 2026

    Action taken:

    The Neighbourhood Policing Team has conducted several warrants across the Frome area, resulting in positive outcomes. Officers have seized drugs and associated paraphernalia and made a number of arrests.

    Thank you to everyone who has provided information and intelligence. Your support is invaluable in helping us tackle crime and keep our communities safe. We encourage you to continue sharing information with us so that we can target those involved in criminal activity and bring offenders to justice.
