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.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Our rural communities are at the heart of Somerset, and we all have a role to play in keeping them safe. Crimes such as poaching, hare coursing, and the theft of machinery, fuel, or livestock can have a real impact on local farmers, landowners, and residents.

    Often, suspicious activity can look completely innocent. A vehicle parked by a field or someone walking dogs across farmland may be there for a legitimate reason, but occasionally it can be linked to criminal activity. That's why we encourage you to trust your instincts and let us know if something doesn't seem right.

    What to Look Out For

    • Vehicles parked in unusual or remote locations
    • People taking an interest in livestock, machinery, or farm buildings
    • Dogs chasing wildlife or livestock
    • Unauthorised access to fields, farms, or woodland
    Why Your Information Matters

    Even if it seems minor, your report could provide an important piece of information that helps us identify patterns, prevent crime, and support our farming communities.

    If you're unsure, please report it. We'd rather check and find nothing wrong than miss something important.How to Report

    • 999– If a crime is happening now or someone is in immediate danger
    • 101– For non-emergency incidents or suspicious activity
    • Online: www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/report

    Together, we can help protect our countryside and support those who live and work within it. If you see something that doesn't look right, please let us know.

  • Priority:

    As pheasant season begins on 1st October, we urge the rural community to remain alert and report any suspicious activity that may indicate poaching. Poaching harms local wildlife, damages the rural economy, and is often linked to other crimes such as property damage and theft.

    If you notice vehicles in unusual locations, individuals with dogs or firearms where they shouldn’t be, or anything that seems out of place, please do not intervene. Instead, record key details and contact the police immediately.

    • Call 999 if the incident is in progress
    • For non-urgent reports, call 101 or report online via Avon and Somerset Police – Report Anti-Social Behaviour

    Your vigilance is vital in helping us protect our countryside and keep our communities safe.
