Around Cleobury Mortimer, the things worth stealing are mostly out of sight: farm machinery, fuel, a digester plant and workshop stock. West Mercia has made rural crime a year-long priority, and our patrols are built for it.
Trusted Protection in Cleobury Mortimer
Across Shropshire, one registered firm in five is a farm: 19.4 per cent, set against Britain's 4.5 per cent. Cleobury Mortimer reflects that, with Withypool Anaerobic Digester, Thompson & Parkes and the Hopton Wafers works among the few commercial names inside 5km. The Cleobury and Highley police team has set rural crime as a priority for the next twelve months. Isolated buildings rarely suit a permanent guard; a patrol vehicle on changing routes, backed by solar towers and alarm response, protects several sites economically.
Cleobury Mortimer Business Profile
Shropshire registers around 15,925 businesses. Farming is the biggest category, 3,095 firms; building comes second with 2,045, professional services third on 1,955. With agriculture over four times as common as nationally, much of the county's risk sits in barns, yards and machinery stores well away from the nearest house. We protect those with unscheduled patrols and towers running on solar power.
Garages and dealers are slightly more common than average, 3.7 per cent compared with 3.0 per cent, and they often want a tower watching the forecourt and a patrol calling overnight. Anyone we send to Cleobury Mortimer holds an SIA licence, has cleared BS 7858 checks and is employed on PAYE terms. Our control room never closes and records GPS arrivals and patrol notes for you.
The Pioneer Centre is the conference venue named nearby. An event there with more than 200 guests will need Martyn's Law plans once it takes effect in 2027, and our team can plan stewarding and entry checks. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Cleobury Mortimer
Inside 5km of Cleobury Mortimer there are no mapped building sites and just 9 licensed premises. The commercial footprint is light: a digester plant, a treatment works and a few firms.

Police here also prioritise drug misuse with linked ASB, and aim to stay visible and responsive. Our patrol logs can support that work with timed, written observations.
