Berkeley's police are focused on rural crime, anti-social behaviour and drugs, and on speeding around the power station. We provide SIA-licensed officers from our Gloucestershire coverage for farms, works and building sites.
Trusted Protection in Berkeley
Berkeley's mapped business sites are few but notable: the Berkeley Nuclear Power Station and Lydney Harbour Estate lie within 5km, along with four construction sites. Around them, Stroud's farms make up 7.7% of businesses and manufacturers 6.1%, both above the national rate. We staff contracts here with officers drawn from across our Gloucestershire coverage, all SIA-licensed, vetted to BS 7858 and directly employed, with a 24/7 control room behind every shift.
Berkeley Business Profile
The officers we send to Berkeley come from our wider Gloucestershire network rather than a single local base. Each holds an SIA licence, has passed BS 7858 screening and is on our PAYE payroll, with no subcontracted agency staff. GPS book-on confirms arrival at a farm gate or works entrance, and digital patrol reports reach you and our control room after every visit.
Stroud district has 5,810 registered businesses. Professional services are the biggest group at 1,000, construction next at 840 and agriculture third at 445. Agriculture's 7.7% share compares with 4.5% nationally, and manufacturing's 6.1% with 4.6%. Farms suit rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers; production sites need static guarding, access control and alarm response.

Security Requirements in Berkeley
Little is mapped within 5km of Berkeley beyond the power station site, Lydney Harbour Estate, Bendall Metals Recycling and five pubs or bars. Premises are spread thinly across farmland, so a theft from a barn or a break-in at a works may not be noticed until morning. That is why remote monitoring, alarm response and planned patrol checks do much of the work here.

For farms and works that points to theft of machinery, fuel and metal, and to damage on remote land.
