My Name Is Richard

Available for over a year

Richard is a gamekeeper and special constable with Hertfordshire Constabulary. He is increasingly angry about the rise in rural crime - everything from dangerous fly tipping to livestock poaching and theft of valuable farm machinery. The toll on our countryside and rural communities is profound, but often ignored, as crime leaves emotional, environmental and economic wreckage behind in places that can ill afford it. Aware of the need for something to be done, he’s desperate to see a change in society’s attitudes and meets those also involved in tackling the issue.
