Trusted Protection in Cotgrave
Police.uk counted 502 offences within a mile of Cotgrave over the year to August 2026. Violence and sexual offences account for 229 of them, around 46%, far ahead of anti-social behaviour at 80 and criminal damage and arson at 40. For a business, that pattern points towards staff safety, lone-worker support and clear incident records rather than shop theft alone. Burglary and rural theft are named police priorities too, which brings alarms and out-of-hours checks into play.
