COMPUTER AND IDENTITY SECURITY

Be a aware of computer and identity crime, this goes from your Equestrian website to your home computer to buying online.

Your computer is vulnerable to electronic theft as well as thieves. Ensure you have an up-to-date virus checker and firewall if you use email or the internet.

Identity theft is an emerging crime. Buy a home shredder for all unwanted personal documents.

DIESEL TANKS

Avoid siting storage tanks in isolated areas such as outlying buildings. A mobile browser could be used instead and removed to a secure place when not in use.

For tanks located close to an electricity supply there are additional options - better lighting, motion sensors and alarms - to act as further deterrents.

CARAVAN STORAGE

Caravans are very desirable and thieves will go to extraordinary measures to steal them. There are existing industry standards which you should aspire to.

The Caravan Storage Site Owners Association (www.cassoa.co.uk) has a scheme for accrediting storage facilities. Secured by Design (www.securedbydesign.com) have secure caravan parks accreditation scheme.

Equestrian Security and rural security issues are fast coming to the forefront with crime in these areas rapidly increasing.
