Hide AdA spokesperson for North Yorkshire Police said: “ A big thank you to the RSPCA and Dalby Forest for helping to train our Rural Task Force.
“We are fortunate enough to police this beautiful rural county - but that does bring with it wildlife and rural crime.
“Training inputs like today's are vitally important, and provide the team with the knowledge and tools needed to carry out their role effectively.”
