Crime Prevention
The Crime Prevention program helps to reduce the occurrence and impact of crime in rural areas and in the
agricultural industry. A $750 Reward Program is offered by CalFarm Insurance and Farm Bureau for tips that lead to
arrest and conviction. Signage, decals and marking tools are provided by Farm Bureau as a deterrent to crime. Check
out our Rural Crime Watch website for a current list of stolen equipment and other rural crimes. The Farm Watch
Program is the rural counterpart to the successful Neighborhood Watch program.
