Drugs supply is the one priority the Camelford & Tintagel neighbourhood team has published. For local businesses that means watching doorways, car parks and quiet rear yards, and we provide patrols and cameras to do it.
Trusted Protection in Camelford
When Devon & Cornwall Police single out drugs supply, the effects reach well beyond the people involved. Dealing tends to gather around unlit service areas, empty premises and spots where nobody is watching. For Camelford firms the answer is presence and evidence: patrols at irregular hours, lighting checks, and monitored cameras that record what happens. Every visit we make is GPS-logged, and reports can be shared with the local team when that helps them act.
Camelford Business Profile
Our facts do not yet show a figure for network officers living near Camelford, so we plan work here around mobile patrols, key holding and remote monitoring. Where a site does need a static officer, we arrange SIA-licensed cover in advance. Everyone we place is BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and our control room watches every shift from book-on to finish.
Cornwall has 25,580 registered businesses. Construction leads with 4,020, followed by agriculture on 3,775 and professional services on 2,700. Farming makes up 14.8% of the county's firms against 4.5% in Britain as a whole, which points to rural patrols and solar camera towers. Utilities, at 1.0% versus 0.6%, bring a smaller number of critical sites that suit remote CCTV.

Security Requirements in Camelford
Two named commercial sites stand out within 5km: Pentire Workshops and the ThermoFisher Scientific premises. No building sites are mapped at present and there are seven licensed premises close by, so the local picture is small-scale and spread out.
That shapes the right kind of protection. Instead of a guard on every gate, most Camelford clients are better served by alarms routed to our control room, keyholders who can attend at night, and patrols that vary their timing.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk shows 178 recorded crimes within a mile of Camelford from September 2025 to August 2026.
That is a low total, and around 60% of it, 106 offences, falls under violence and sexual offences. The remaining categories were small: 17 cases of criminal damage and arson, 14 of public order, 12 of anti-social behaviour and 10 of other theft. The most recent quarter came in 4% below a year earlier. For businesses the realistic concerns are damage to property and misuse of quiet spaces, both of which patrols and cameras address.

Camelford Security FAQs
