I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Wildlife Crime Issues, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey. Hare Coursing Season Begins
September Traditionally marks the start of the Hare Coursing Season.
Humberside Police Rural Task Force will be conducting high visibility patrols to combat hare coursing and to deter offenders from visiting the East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire countryside to commit such offending.
Officers are requesting that all reports of Hare Coursing Activity, whether it be confirmed persons on land with dogs, or suspicious vehicles believed to be involved in Hare Coursing are reported Via 999 if the incident is in progress, or 101 if a suspicious vehicle is sighted or if offenders are leaving the location.
The reporting of these incidents help the Rural Task Force to monitor the locations where offending is most frequent and to then target this offending area.
Where possible, Vehicle Registrations should be passed to the call taker to allow for relevant checks to be conducted and to allow for officers to then target these vehicles.
When calling 999 or 101, Please Quote “OPERATION GALILEO” For Day poaching which is the multi force targeted Hare Coursing Operation. Please quote "OP ZODIAC" for any night time activity.
Please do not approach offender and ensure that you maximise your own safety when reporting these incidents.
 If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.humberside.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.
