Billesley sits in a city where retail and health and care both outstrip the national average. We provide uniformed retail officers, store detectives and reception security for local shops and clinics.
Trusted Protection in Billesley
Birmingham has 38,605 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 5,245, retail follows with 4,695 and construction with 3,795. Retail's share is 12.2% against 7.8% nationally, and health and care is 7.5% against 4.4%. In Billesley that shows up in two ways: shops around the Maypole retail area, where police are targeting theft from businesses, and care centres needing reception cover and lone-worker support.
Billesley Business Profile
Our network includes 475 people with homes inside a 10-mile radius of Billesley. Of those, 200 carry a valid SIA licence and are open to bookings, 85 drive, 15 handle dogs and five specialise in CCTV. Every officer has passed BS 7858 screening and is paid by PAYE, and visits are logged by GPS through our 24/7 control room.
Retailers are the obvious users of that pool, with uniformed officers to deter theft and store detectives to catch it. Care settings such as the Greet Urgent Care Centre and Stratford Road Centre benefit from reception officers. Construction, with 27 building projects mapped inside 5km, needs CCTV towers and patrols, while estates such as Shaftmoor and Cole Valley Business Park suit alarm response.
