Last season there were 873 incidents, compared to 1,365 in 2017/18 and 1,965 during the 2016/17 season – Prevention has been the focus, and continues to be so.
The drones return to the force’s Operation Galileo effort, to tackle rural crime, along with the additional Ford Rangers and other marked & unmarked 4×4 vehicles which the force uses to respond to incidents.
