The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent steps her Department has taken to help tackle rural crime in Staffordshire.

Answered by Sarah Jones

We are supporting forces across the UK, including Staffordshire Police, to tackle the crimes that particularly affect rural communities.

We have given £365,000 in funding to the National Rural Crime Unit, a further £450,000 to the National Wildlife Crime Unit, and we have worked closely with the NPCC to deliver their Rural and Wildlife Crime Strategy which was launched recently.
