Benefits of Membership 

 The Task Force provides a strong network of law enforcement professionals and industry partners who actively share prevention programs, ideas, talents, and expertise, all with the common goal of protecting California’s agricultural industry. 

Specialized Crime Prevention Training

  The Task Force provides valuable training opportunities not only at the annual Rural Crime School, but also during each quarterly meeting. In addition, through its website, meetings, and email bulletins, the Task Force keeps members informed on the latest tools, resources, and legal developments that may impact rural crime prevention. By sharing best practices, member agencies are able to remain efficient and effective in their efforts to combat rural crime.  

Regulatory Partners

 Federal and state agents working in the agricultural sector are encouraged to become members, as they also deal firsthand with the challenges and issues related to agricultural crime. 

Industry Partners

  Our industry partners include agricultural businesses, dairymen, farmers, ranchers, equipment dealers, livestock auction houses, feed stores, financial institutions, and others operating within agriculture-related industries. These partners play a vital role in assisting law enforcement by becoming educated and engaged in rural crime prevention, reporting issues, and adopting best practices to reduce and prevent such crimes.
