Rural & Wildlife team bolstered by new officer

Crime Ref:
Force:
Suffolk Constabulary
Rural communities in Suffolk will now benefit from an additional Rural & Wildlife police officer joining the team.
PC Colin Taylor will join PC Andre de Jongh, PC Kevin Stollery and Sgt Brian Calver, who leads the Rural & Wildlife team, in providing dedicated and expert support to other officers who may need their advice with an investigation based around rural/wildlife matters.
The role that PC Taylor has assumed has come from funding provided by Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner’s 4.69% increase to the policing element of council tax precept for this financial year. This rise will ensure the force continues to improve coordination to address rural criminality and increase visibility in rural areas.
The team will also have access to a new vehicle that will transport a drone to help tackle rural and wildlife crime.
