A Thames Valley Police survey found Chesham residents most concerned about drug-related activity, speeding and anti-social behaviour. We help businesses in this Buckinghamshire town respond with patrols, CCTV and guarding.
Trusted Protection in Chesham
The Chesham neighbourhood team built its priorities from a residents' survey, and three themes came through: drug-related activity, speeding and anti-social behaviour. Two of those land on business doorsteps. Anti-social behaviour gathers around car parks, shop fronts and industrial estates after hours, and drug activity often uses the same quiet corners. Go Security puts SIA-licensed officers in our network, CCTV monitoring and mobile patrols on Chesham premises, with a 24/7 control room recording each visit.
Chesham Business Profile
Thirty security workers in our network are registered within 10 miles of Chesham, and 5 of them currently hold an SIA licence and are active for bookings. Each has cleared BS 7858 screening and draws a PAYE wage. For larger or longer contracts, our control room supplements this local group from the wider network so that posts stay filled.
Of the 31,175 registered businesses across Buckinghamshire, the biggest share sits in professional services (6,055), then construction (4,505), then tech and communications (3,240). The county over-indexes on two of these: professional practices reach 19.4% of all firms against 15.6% for Britain, and the tech sector 10.4% against 7.0%. Such offices and server rooms generally want controlled entry, a staffed front desk, monitored cameras and someone holding keys after hours.
The Elgiva theatre, Temperance Hall / The Little Theatre by the Park and Kings Chapel are Chesham's mapped venues. Martyn's Law will set duties for those holding 200 or more people when it starts, and we provide event security to help organisers prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Amersham Hospital lies within 5km, and stations at Chesham and Amersham serve the area. There are no mapped retail parks, so shops cluster in the town itself.
Thirty-six pubs, bars and clubs and five active construction sites round out the area, adding evening footfall and building-site risks to the mix.

Chesham Security FAQs
Following a Neighbourhood Policing Priorities Survey, Thames Valley Police's Chesham team is concentrating on drug-related activity, speeding and anti-social behaviour. Businesses can support that work with CCTV monitoring and patrols that record activity around their premises.
Anti-social behaviour was the second largest category near Chesham, with 208 reports in a year. Lighting checks, CCTV towers and irregular mobile patrols make car parks and estate yards less attractive places to gather.
Tech businesses account for 10.4% of the county's total, comfortably above the 7.0% British figure. For these occupiers we arrange door entry systems, front-of-house officers and remotely watched cameras, with key holding covering evenings and weekends.
