The Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) for North Wales engaged with more than 3,000 people in August.
PCC Andy Dunbobbin and his staff attended three county and rural shows throughout the region during the summer month.
These included the Anglesey Show on August 12 and 13, the Merioneth Show on August 20, and the Denbigh & Flint Show on August 21.
People attending these events were given the opportunity to discuss policing in their communities, rural crime, and the PCC's main objectives.
The PCC's stand, which was shared with colleagues from the North Wales Victim Help Centre, North Wales Police's cybercrime team, and online safety charity Get Safe Online, proved to be a popular stop at each event.
The PCC also used these events to engage with leading farming unions, such as the FUW and NFU.
Mr Dunbobbin said: "I was delighted to attend the summer rural and county shows across North Wales, which are such a feature of our countryside calendar.
"Preventing crime in rural areas is a key priority for me as PCC.
"This type of crime is varied and can include thefts of machinery and livestock from farms, threats to wildlife, crime to heritage assets, and crimes such as domestic abuse that can sometimes result from issues around poor mental health and the pressures of farming."

The PCC sees these shows as valuable chances for the public to engage directly with him and his team, offering a platform for people to ask questions about policing and crime.
Mr Dunbobbin added: "Our rural and county shows act as unique focal points where the public can ask me and my team questions about my role and our work on their behalf.
"I also get to hear directly from residents about their concerns and observations on policing in their communities and this one-to-one contact is very important for me.
"Many thanks to all those who stopped by to speak to us across the three shows and congratulations to all organisers on another series of outstanding events across North Wales."
Looking ahead, Mr Dunbobbin is set to hold an online public surgery dedicated to discussing crime in rural areas on September 10.
