Graeme G Gordon Email and Phone Number
Since 2007 I have been working in South Ayrshire, Scotland as a Community Police Officer.Prestwick Police Office was my first office in South Ayrshire and from there I covered the ancient ward of Kyle which is a mainly rural area with about 6 villages.Covering such a large rural community I visited a lot of farmers and estates and very quickly realised that there was not much, if any, communication between the rural community and the Police.I found that there were incidents happening within the community that were going unreported and unrecorded. I would asked residents why they did not report incidents and the common replies were " When we call you, you don't come and when you do come you don't do anything"With these answers in mind I decided to start up a line of communication between the rural community and myself, the Police.The communication would be in the form of monthly emails from me to the members and in return they would report any suspicious activity on their properties.Each new member is informed that this does not take the place of calling the Police to report incidents but would hopefully assist any on going enquiries.Rural Watch was born.Over the past 9 years I have integrated my role as Wildlife Crime Liaison Officer with Rural Watch, talking about wildlife crime issues with the rural community, bringing to the table, wildlife crime issues which should concern the community in whole.Rural Watch has grown from covering a small area deep in South Ayrshire to covering the whole of Ayrshire and a small section of Dumfries and Galloway. There are even members in Uplawmoor which is north of Kilmarnock and they joined because they had heard of Rural Watch and wanted to be part of it.Rural Watch has now in excess of 680 members which consists of farmers, estate owners and in general people who live within the rural community.Rural watch allows me to keep the rural community up to date with wildlife legislation.

From the smallest, remotest farm or property to the largest estate, they leave the event having made new contacts or renewed old ones and having got a bundle of new ideas to take back home with them.If I can show these members that they are not alone in their problems and that as part of a large group we can face the security issues together, then jobs done. On 02/10/2015 I, in conjunction with NFUS held a "Best Practice" day for the rural and farming community of Ayrshire. We had inputs from NFU Mutual, Police Scotland's Scene of Crimes and Scottish Power.Hailed as a success, my intention is to hold further days in the not too distant future.On the 24th February 2016 I was nominated by SRUC to give a talk to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. The topic would be Rural and wildlife crime.The evening talk went very well with Ayrshire farmers being talked about at great lengths as there had been a speight of livestock worrying and a number of animal lives lost. Rural Watch, started by me and ran by me had been introduced to the Scottish Parliament.On 1st October 2016 I along with NFUS held our second “Best Practice” day entitled “Fighting Rural Crime Together”. Again a very successful day with about 70 members of the rural community of Ayrshire, attending.Further events intended in the new year. Show less
