Humberside Police's Croft Baker team has named shop theft on St Peters Avenue, anti-social behaviour with criminal damage, and drug dealing as its Cleethorpes priorities. Our guarding, patrols and camera cover are built around those same problems.
Trusted Protection in Cleethorpes
When the neighbourhood team publishes its concerns, businesses in Cleethorpes get a useful starting point. Shop theft along St Peters Avenue is listed first, and shoplifting within a mile rose 39% over the latest three months against a year earlier. Anti-social behaviour and criminal damage come next, then drug dealing. We answer with uniformed retail guards, mobile patrols that check shutters and yards after closing, and CCTV monitoring through an NSI Gold accredited centre, with every visit logged by GPS.
Cleethorpes Business Profile
North East Lincolnshire has 4,635 registered businesses. Construction leads with 755, then transport and logistics with 520 and retail with 515. That logistics share, 11.2% against 4.3% for Great Britain, points to depots and warehouses where gatehouse control and yard guarding matter most. We draw on SIA-licensed officers in our wider network, all vetted to BS 7858 and paid through PAYE.
The motor trade is also stronger here than nationally, at 4.6% of firms compared with 3.0%. Forecourts holding stock overnight are a natural fit for CCTV towers and late patrols. With 13 construction sites mapped within 5km, contractors may also want temporary towers and locked-up checks on plant. Retailers, meanwhile, tend to need visible guarding during trading hours and alarm response once the doors close.
Blundell Park, the Meridian Showground and Parkway Cinema all sit within 5km, and Martyn's Law will reach venues expecting 200 or more people when it starts. We supply event security and door staff for gatherings of that kind. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
