Professional services lead on 1,245, construction follows on 1,115 and tech and communications on 760. The tech share is 10.8% against 7.0% nationally, so access control and monitored CCTV for offices and data rooms come up regularly. Professional services, at 17.7% compared with 15.6%, typically want reception cover, concierge duties and key holding. Officers come from our wider Hampshire network, every one SIA-licensed, vetted to BS 7858 and paid through PAYE. They book on by GPS, and our 24/7 control room tracks each shift and patrol. Builders, with 7 sites mapped within 5km, usually start with CCTV towers, while estate tenants at Thornycroft, Viables or St Modwen Park lean on alarm response and mobile patrols. 7,015 Registered businesses in Basingstoke and Deane 44 Warehouse buildings mapped within 5 km 7 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km 44 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Venues, centres and estates in Basingstoke - **Industrial & business parks:** Thornycroft Industrial Estate, Viables Industrial Estate, Brunswick Place Industrial Estate, Lister Road Industrial Estate, St Modwen Park and Lennox Industrial Mall - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** Festival Place, The Malls, St Michael's Retail Park, Brighton Hill Retail Park, Brighton Hill Centre and Chineham Shopping Centre - **Hospitals:** Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital and Parklands Hospital - **Rail stations:** Basingstoke ### Venues & Martyn's Law The Anvil and The Haymarket stage regular performances, and Labyrinth trades late.

Updated October 2026. Security Requirements in Basingstoke ## Shopping centres and distribution sites Beyond its venues, Basingstoke is shaped by retail and logistics. Festival Place and The Malls anchor the centre, with St Michael's, Brighton Hill and Chineham on the edges. Sainsbury's Distribution Centre and Lister Road Industrial Estate sit among six named business sites, and the town has one station and two hospitals. Busy retail and big distribution yards create different risks: theft on the shop floor in the day, and unattended loading areas at night. A contract here often pairs a uniformed officer in a store with an overnight patrol of a yard a few miles away.

The latest quarter was 1% lower than the same period a year earlier, yet shoplifting rose 57%. For venues, violence and disorder argue for trained door staff; for retailers, the jump in theft is the figure to act on. 3,974 Recorded crimes in 12 months 1,586 Violence & sexual offences 551 Anti-social behaviour 384 Shoplifting 349 Public order 294 Criminal damage & arson Source: [Police.uk](https://www.police.uk) open data, street-level crime within ~1 mile, September 2025 to August 2026.
