Raising Awareness of Rural Crime

2V9A1489

The Masons Kings Police Tractor is back!

Following the success of last year’s competition Devon & Cornwall Police are, once again, offering children aged 12 and under the opportunity to name this year’s tractor.

The competition launches Wednesday 15 May and will be open until midnight on Sunday 9 June. The winning name will be chosen by Assistant Chief Constable Glen Mayhew and will be announced on the Devon & Cornwall Police Rural Affairs Team page on Facebook on Friday 14 June. The winner will be invited to meet the team and will be presented with a small prize at the Woofstock Festival on Saturday 15 June.

Police Constable Clarke Orchard of the Rural Affairs Team said: “As we expected, the tractor sparked lots of opportunities for conversations with farmers from across the county last year and we received a fantastic response from the public. Following countless questions from children, we also launched a competition to ‘name the tractor’ and received more than 500 entries. This year, we’re excited to launch the competition again and are reaching out to young residents of Devon and Cornwall to see what great names they come up with this year!”

General Manager at Masons Kings, Peter Endacott, added: “As a family-run business deeply rooted in the local community, we are honoured to partner with Devon & Cornwall Police to raise awareness of rural crime. Last year’s campaign was a tremendous success and we are committed to doing everything we can to support our customers.”
Entrants must be living in Devon, Cornwall or the Isles of Scilly and be aged 12 or under at the time the competition closes on 9 June. Entrants must also have permission from their parent or guardian to enter the competition.
Police Constable Clarke Orchard continued: “The Rural Affairs team and I can’t wait to hear the names submitted for the tractor this year. Good luck to everyone who enters!”
