Professional services lead with 500, construction has 440 and leisure and entertainment 275. Leisure's 9.8% share is above the 7.2% figure for Great Britain, which brings demand for event security and stewarding at function rooms and sports grounds. Having 25 licensed officers close by means venue rotas can be filled by people familiar with the area. Health and care is the other sector running above average, at 6.1% compared with 4.4% nationally. Care homes and clinics usually want discreet access control, alarm response and key holding rather than a heavy uniformed presence. Builders on the 13 mapped construction sites need CCTV towers and patrols after hours.

Scottish recording works differently from the format used south of the border, so we leave out a local total rather than compare unlike numbers. A more practical guide to risk is a walk round your own building: entrances, glazing, lighting, alarm zones and how deliveries arrive. A free audit, which would otherwise cost £250, covers all of that and finishes with a 25-point checklist.
