The Chudleigh-Teign Valley police team names shoplifting, anti-social behaviour with illegal e-bikes, and drug networks as its focus, and those three priorities shape how we plan security for local businesses.
Trusted Protection in Chudleigh
Chudleigh's neighbourhood officers have set out three concerns: theft from shops, anti-social behaviour including illegal e-bikes, and drugs with the networks behind them. For shopkeepers, that suggests visible uniformed cover and cameras at the till. For farms and yards around Teignbridge, it means alarms and patrols that discourage people using quiet land. Our 24/7 control room links all of it, logging every visit.
Chudleigh Business Profile
Teignbridge has about 5,900 registered businesses. Construction leads with 955, professional services follows with 720 and agriculture with 685. Farming accounts for 11.6% of firms, well above the British 4.5%, so rural patrols and solar CCTV towers are sensible for outlying land. The motor trade also runs high at 4.5% against 3.0%, and Masons Tractor Sales is among the named sites nearby.
Our network includes 35 security workers who live within 10 miles of Chudleigh, 25 of them licensed and ready to take bookings, and 10 with a car for mobile rounds. All are vetted to BS 7858 and employed through PAYE. Patrol officers book on with GPS at every stop, and clients receive a digital report.

Security Requirements in Chudleigh
The facts paint a small place: ten pubs and bars within 5km, six construction sites mapped and named commercial points that include a gas storage site and spoil heaps as well as a tractor dealer. There is no station or retail park listed nearby.
That kind of setting tends to suit shared patrol routes, key holding and alarm response rather than full-time guards, with towers for building plots or open yards.

Chudleigh Security FAQs
Shoplifting is the first priority of the local police team and the second largest crime category on Police.uk, with 16 offences in a year. A uniformed officer at busy times and CCTV monitored by an NSI Gold accredited centre are practical steps.
The Teign Valley team is targeting anti-social behaviour and illegal e-bikes. Mobile patrols at varied times, good lighting and monitored cameras help deter gatherings and give you a record of incidents to pass on.
Agriculture makes up 11.6% of Teignbridge businesses, far above the national 4.5%. Solar CCTV towers, POD alarms and night-time patrol visits protect machinery, fuel and outbuildings on remote land.
The motor trade is 4.5% of local firms against 3.0% across Britain. For forecourts and tractor yards we normally recommend a CCTV tower plus overnight patrols on an unpredictable schedule.
Our network has 35 security workers within 10 miles, including 25 who are SIA-licensed and active for shifts and 10 who drive. All are BS 7858 vetted and supported by our 24/7 control room.
