Last week I visited Hexham Police Station to meet with Northumbria Police officers and Inspector Bridges to get an update on recent police preventative measures, including how to prevent anti-social behaviour and drug use and combat speeding. We also discussed Northumbria Police’s Farmwatch scheme, a network designed to alert farmers and members of the rural community to any criminal or suspicious activity, share crime prevention advice and make appeals for information. By signing up to the scheme you will be kept informed of crime in your area and receive a monthly news bulletin. For more information see here-
