Trusted Protection in Alwoodley
Within a mile of Alwoodley, Police.uk recorded 150 crimes over 12 months. Violence and sexual offences lead on 52, but burglary is next at 26, ahead of public order, shoplifting and anti-social behaviour. That ordering is unusual and it shapes the advice: for offices, empty properties and premises closed overnight, alarm response, key holding and periodic patrols matter more than a permanent guard. CCTV monitoring adds a check on entrances when nobody is on site.
