Cracking down on countryside crime
The man behind one of the North-East’s leading security companies has a New Year resolution – to tackle the rise in rural crime across the region. PETER BARRON talks to Francis Jones.
The plan is to launch ‘Sparta Rural Enforcement’ as a new arm of the business, on a three-month trial, to test its effectiveness in more remote areas. And, in order, for it to work, he is aiming to predominantly employ former police officers who have retired from countryside beats.
They will operate in unmarked vehicles, in designated criminal hotspots, at random times throughout the week, and relay information direct to the police.
“As the population increases, so in turn should the number of police officers,” says Francis. “Instead, they have decreased, so unless there is an element of privatization, we will see crime continuing to grow and vigilante groups being set up.
“Business owners are sick – farmers are sick – and I have no doubt that many police officers are tired of the lack of support with, sometimes, one officer covering a vast area.”
