Alliance to Reduce Crime Against Heritage

15 December 2011

The Alliance to Reduce Crime against Heritage (ARCH) is a new voluntary national network which will take forward initiatives to tackle heritage crime and galvanise local action as part of the Heritage Crime Initiative. The overriding objective of the group is to reduce the amount of crime that causes damage to or interferes with the enjoyment of heritage assets in England. Needless to say our battlefields are particularly vulnerable to heritage crime, notably (but not solely) in the form of illicit metal detecting and vandalism,

Members of ARCH have a shared interest in preventing and seeing effective enforcement of measures against heritage crime and through conferences and training events it is a means of discussing priorities, sharing information about heritage crime, carrying out training and highlighting best practice and making local contacts.
