The KFB Crime Prevention
Program works to improve the lines of communication between
local law enforcement agencies and the agricultural community.
The continued rise in rural crimes -
such as meth labs and thefts of farm equipment, chemicals,
livestock, crops and materials - highlight the need for this
effort.
By joining together and improving
communication efforts, we can take a significant bite out of
rural crime. |

Security
All farms should have some
measure of site security in place to minimize terrorist or crime
activities, as well as to protect assets.
Basic security measures should
include fences, walls, locked doors and alarm systems. In
addition, security lighting (good lighting around buildings,
storage tanks and storage areas) can make it very difficult for
someone to trespass undetected. Intrusion detection
systems, such as video surveillance and motion detectors,
provide an even higher level of security.

Anhydrous Ammonia Theft
- Anhydrous nurse tanks left
unattended for extended periods are an invitation to would-be
thieves.
- Place tanks in open areas where
they may be observed by passing motorists an law enforcement
personnel, would-be thieves are at a disadvantage.
- Return tanks immediately after
use.
- Relieve pressure with the bleed
valve and then remove hoses between tool bars and nurse tanks
when left in the field overnight.

Rural Crime Prevention
Property crime on U.S. farms is increasing, with serious
financial and personal losses for farmers. Isolation, ease
of access and the portable nature of livestock and equipment
make farms an inviting target for thieves, vandals and other
criminals.
