Mowbray Digital Training – Bat Crime – resource list 🦇

The links below will take you to all the resources that you have covered in your Bat Crime digital training module:

 

NWCU Wildlife Crime DISC knowledge hub
If you have not done so already, request DISC access from the NWCU. Access levels will depend on your organisation and role.

Only police can access the Bat Crime toolkit but there is a wealth of additional resources for partners too.

Bat Crime Toolkit for investigators has been developed by the Bat Priority Delivery Group. The toolkit comprises NPCC tactical bat crime guidance, guide to Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) applications, generic bat crime interview questions, a ten-point investigators aide, a “bats and the law” document, an MOU and a flow chart for call handlers.
