An Garda Síochána Crime Prevention Officer, Sergeant John Fitzpatrick, discusses, on this week’s Beef Edge podcast, top tips and the steps you can take to reduce the possibility of theft on your farm.

As the evenings are getting darker earlier, Sergeant Fitzpatrick says it’s an ideal time for farmers to review their farm security and he advises farmers on how to protect theft of livestock. 

Locking up and securing sheds and gates regularly should also be part of the day-to-day work on a farm. 

In relation to theft of farm machinery, he suggests a number of tips for farmers, while house security is also very important and John gives homeowners advice on how to best secure their home.
