Blyth Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you help with retail crime in Blyth town centre? Yes. Blyth's police team names town-centre retail and business crime as a priority, and shop theft accounted for 369 Police.uk records nearby across the year. Uniformed officers on the shop floor and plain-clothes store detectives are both options. ### Do you patrol business parks such as West Sleekburn? We do. Mobile patrols visit units on West Sleekburn Industrial Estate, Riverside Business Park and Ashwood Business Park at varied times, checking doors and fences and logging each visit by GPS. ### Can you provide stewards for Croft Park? Match-day stewarding and door supervision are both part of what we offer for grounds and event spaces. Where a ground or venue holds 200 or more people, Martyn's Law will apply once it starts, and our free audit can look at entrances and crowd flow. ### Do you cover farms in Northumberland? Agriculture is Northumberland's largest sector, with 1,800 businesses. We offer rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers, which suit open land where mains power and a full-time guard are not practical. ### Is anti-social behaviour a problem near Blyth's businesses? Anti-social behaviour generated 575 reports close to the centre in the twelve months to August 2026, and the police team names the Mermaid Car Park as a focus. Visible patrols and monitored CCTV can help deter it near your premises. Free, no-obligation quote ## Get a security quote in Blyth Tell us about your site and what you need.
