Heritage crime and anti-social behaviour are the two priorities named by Gwent Police in Caerleon. Our patrols, monitored cameras and SIA-licensed officers help businesses, venues and sites in the area respond to both.
Trusted Protection in Caerleon
The Caerleon neighbourhood team lists heritage crime and anti-social behaviour as its focus. For a business, that means protecting buildings and grounds from damage and keeping disruption away from customers. Recorded figures support the concern: anti-social behaviour reached 137 offences within a mile and criminal damage and arson 101. Visible mobile patrols, CCTV monitoring handled by an NSI Gold accredited partner and alarm response give owners in Caerleon a practical way to deter both.
Caerleon Business Profile
Thirty security workers on our books have homes inside a 10-mile radius of Caerleon, and 10 hold SIA licences and are taking bookings. Each one has passed BS 7858 screening and receives wages via PAYE. Patrol visits are checked in by GPS and followed by a digital report, so owners see a timed record of each check on their property.
Newport has 4,320 registered businesses. Construction is largest with 560, then professional services with 535 and retail with 395. Transport and logistics account for 8.4% of firms, almost double the British rate, and the motor trade 4.1%. Star Industrial Estate and Harlequin Trading Estate hold yards and depots that suit gatehouse control and patrols, while forecourts benefit from CCTV towers.
Caerleon Arts Centre, Celtic Manor Conference Centre and the Riverfront Theatre and Arts Centre all lie inside 5km. Any of these hosting 200 or more guests will need to meet Martyn's Law duties when they begin in 2027, and we offer event security and stewarding. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Caerleon
Caerleon has its own arts and crafts venues, including Caerleon Arts Centre and Ffwrwm Art & Crafts Centre, yet sits within 5km of Newport's larger commercial ground: Friars Walk Shopping Centre, Newport Retail Park, Spytty Road Retail Park and estates at Crindau and Albany Road. St Cadoc's Hospital and St Joseph's Hospital are nearby.
The same radius takes in 87 pubs, bars and nightclubs, plus 25 mapped building sites. Security requests here can therefore range from discreet camera cover around heritage settings to overnight guarding of plant and materials.
