The theft of construction and agricultural machinery is a growing concern, with losses estimated at £800 million per year. This specialised training is an ideal introduction for officers looking to combat the criminals behind these high-value thefts, which often fund broader criminal activities. The course offers a foundational understanding of why these thefts are considered minimal risk and high reward for criminals, along with the key indicators officers should look for during investigations.
This training provides officers with the essential knowledge needed to address the organised theft of plant and agricultural machinery. The course covers the critical aspects of identifying and responding to these crimes, using a combination of PowerPoint presentations, videos, and firsthand examination of practical exhibits.
