Trusted Protection in Billericay
Police.uk counted 1,173 crimes within a mile of Billericay over twelve months. Of those, 209 were shoplifting, which tells shop owners where the pressure falls. The good news is that shop theft fell 38% in the latest quarter compared with a year earlier, even as overall crime edged up 4%. We build plans around that picture: uniformed officers on the shop floor, CCTV monitoring, and patrols for building sites and yards.
Billericay Business Profile
Five security workers in our network live within ten miles of Billericay. They form the base for routine work such as key holding, locking up and patrol rounds, and colleagues from across Essex join them for larger contracts.

Basildon has 7,810 registered businesses, and construction dominates with 2,050. At 26.2% of the register, that share is almost double the 14.1% across Britain, and 12 sites were mapped within 5km. Transport and logistics firms also run above average, at 6.3% against 4.3%, which brings yards and warehouses needing gate control. Professional services, with 980 firms, mostly need alarm response and key holding.
Hutton Hall, the cinema and Reids nightclub are the town's named venues. Events for 200 or more will be inside Martyn's Law once its duties begin, and our stewards and door staff can support the planning. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Billericay
Billericay is an Essex town in the East of England, and the places mapped around it are a practical mix: Greenleas Farm, a sewage treatment works, a flexible generation facility, Laindon North Trading Estate and Summerhill Garden Centre, along with one station and 24 pubs and bars.
Sites like the generation facility and the trading estate are spread out and often unattended, so mobile patrols and remote CCTV suit them better than a permanent guard.

Crime & Security Data
These figures cover September 2025 to August 2026 and include every offence recorded within a mile.
Violence and sexual offences lead with 399, about a third of the 1,173 total. Shoplifting comes next with 209, then anti-social behaviour on 109, public order on 83 and criminal damage and arson on 82. Comparing the latest three months with the same period a year earlier, all crime rose 4% while shoplifting fell 38%. That fall is welcome, but shop theft remains a steady cost that trained retail staff and visible officers can keep down.
