Just 44 offences were recorded within a mile of Bampton over twelve months, yet burglary and criminal damage both feature. For farms and rural units in Mid Devon, a single incident can cost far more than the statistics suggest.
Trusted Protection in Bampton
Police.uk figures for Bampton are modest: 44 offences in a year, of which 19 were violence and sexual offences and four apiece were burglary, criminal damage and other theft. What that total hides is how isolated many premises are. A burgled barn or broken-into unit may go unnoticed until morning. Monitored POD alarms, solar CCTV towers and patrol visits logged by GPS help close that gap, with our 24/7 control room dispatching a response to every activation.
Bampton Business Profile
Mid Devon is home to 4,605 registered businesses, and 1,285 of them are agricultural, which works out at 27.9% against just 4.5% for Britain as a whole. Construction contributes 640 firms and professional services 435. Farm equipment, quad bikes, diesel tanks and chemicals sit in sheds and yards across open country, so roaming patrols at irregular times and solar camera towers that need no mains supply fit the setting.
Manufacturing is the other sector above the British average, at 5.8% compared with 4.6%. Small production sites benefit from guarding during key periods, controlled entry and a defined response when an alarm goes off. People we deploy are SIA-licensed, screened to BS 7858 and paid on PAYE. After every visit the client receives a digital report showing where the officer went.
