Through our Rural Forum we work closely with rural businesses and communities to ensure their views on community safety, policing and fire and rescue services are heard and understood.
Yesterday's Essex Young Farmers show was a great showcase for all the rural community in Essex. Strong businesses, conservation, guardianship of our countryside and lots of fun.

The Independent Custody Visiting Scheme run by our office has been given a prestigious national award for the quality of its independent custody visiting scheme.
