Event in Ruthin to help rural communities stay safe online and on the farm

Farmers, rural business owners, landowners and those involved in the rural economy across North Wales are being invited to a rural crime prevention event in Ruthin this May, aimed at helping communities strengthen their security both online and on the farm.

Jointly organised by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC), North Wales Police’s Cyber Crime Team and Rural Crime Team, the Cyber Resilience Centre for Wales, and farming charity Tir Dewi, the event will provide practical advice, expert insight and the latest information on emerging threats affecting rural communities.

Taking place on 21 May 2026 at Ruthin Town Hall, the interactive session will focus on how to protect rural property, livestock, machinery, land and livelihoods from increasingly sophisticated crime patterns—both physical and cyber‑related.

Attendees will hear from specialists in rural policing, crime prevention and community safety, with opportunities to ask questions, raise local concerns and help shape future priorities for protecting North Wales’ countryside.
