We know there are links between rural crime and organised crime groups, which is why rural crime is a key focus of Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Wilkinson's new #MakingWiltshireSafer Police and Crime Plan.

Giving young people the confidence and platform to make sure their voices are heard when engaging with figures of authority and people within their communities is an important part of the work we do. That's why we've funded a number of projects across Wiltshire and Swindon which helps young people who are victims of crime, steers those who are at risk of being exploited by gangs away from crime, and creates a link between young people and their communities. The Police and Crime Commissioner, Philip Wilkinson, strongly believes young people should be heard when it comes to decisions affecting their lives, which is why we want you to share your views, experiences, and ideas, and to tell the Government what really matters to you if you're aged between 10-21 (aged 25 with SEND). The survey is available by following the link in the comments and is open until April 16th https://lnkd.in/eEQK7cHi #DeliverYou #WhatsYourOrder #MakingWiltshireSafer
