00:00Farmers play a crucial role in the country's food security and the TTPS is examining how it can better protect
00:06them.
00:07We recognize that farmers face particular security challenges, including pre-deal larceny, trespassing, theft of equipment and other criminal activities.
00:18It's for this reason the TTPS Eastern Division and Valencia Police Station, in collaboration with the SILS Farmer Support Group,
00:25consulted farmers in that division.
00:28According to the Farmer Support Group, there are around 100 to 120 registered farmers in Valencia.
00:34As President Bindra Mirage is lobbying Valencia farmers to come on board, saying so far, they have managed to get
00:40farmers badges, among some other issues that are being sorted out.
00:44The issue of camera pictures now is now accepted by the court, so we are dealing with that with pre
00:52-deal larceny now.
00:52An initiative is afoot to have horses from the mounted branch patrol areas where vehicles cannot traverse.
01:18This, he says, will be done alongside the pre-deal larceny unit and the SILS Farmers Group.
01:24However, one farmer says it was done previously, but it was short-lived.
01:28So, there's, I'm going to stop, so it's nothing new.
01:31So, if it is, you're going to start something, we, Valencia, just want to see you continue it.
01:38Police say this will specifically be targeted towards farming in the day and at night, the TTPS's Eagle Eye will
01:46keep watch.
01:47The Valencia farmers were also introduced to the Citizen Surveillance Network, the owners behind Eagle Eye, allowing footage to be
01:55easily provided to police.
01:56Where the lines are drawn in the road is also another problem farmers there claim they face.
02:14It's not supposed to happen.
02:27Squatting is also an issue causing adverse impact on touray farmers in Sanguigrande.
02:47The farmers have been encouraged to come together as a group, including on WhatsApp, and add police officers to it
02:54in order to make it easier to solve the crime problems they are facing.
02:59So, let's start with looking for walking within.
