Each officer carries an SIA licence, has been screened to BS 7858 and is on a PAYE wage rather than supplied by an agency. GPS book-on records arrivals, and our control room, staffed day and night, holds every patrol report so you can review it whenever you need to. The construction base is the largest single group, and eight building sites are mapped within 5km, so towers and out-of-hours rounds for plant and materials are practical starting points. Professional offices tend to need key holding and alarm response instead, while timber merchants, hauliers and fuel distributors such as those on the local map call for yard checks and perimeter cameras. 5,965 Registered businesses in South Norfolk 8 Active construction sites mapped within 5 km 12 Pubs, bars & nightclubs within 5 km ### Business sites around Diss - **Industrial & business parks:** Forge Business Centre, Brome Industrial Estate, Mid Suffolk Business Park, Monarch Water, David A Garnham & Sons Timber Merchants & Hauliers and Watson Fuels - **Retail parks & shopping centres:** No 8 Marketplace and Victoria Centre Retail Park - **Rail stations:** Diss ### Venues & Martyn's Law The Corn Hall is the theatre on our map for Diss.

Diss Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Shoplifting is common in Diss. What can shops do? Police.uk shows 150 shoplifting offences within a mile over the year, second only to violence. Uniformed retail officers, store detectives and CCTV monitoring deter theft, and a POD intruder alarm protects the shop after closing. ### How do you protect farms near Diss? Agriculture is 10.2% of South Norfolk's businesses, more than double the national share. Solar CCTV towers alert our control room, and rural patrols visit yards and outbuildings at changing times. ### Can you guard a timber or fuel yard? Yes. Yards like those of the timber merchants, hauliers and fuel distributors around Diss suit perimeter cameras, overnight patrols and alarm response. A static officer can be added where stock values are high. ### Do you cover units on Brome Industrial Estate? Units on Brome Industrial Estate, Forge Business Centre and Mid Suffolk Business Park can join a patrol route, with doors and shutters checked and each visit GPS-logged. Manufacturing sites can also add access control. ### Can you steward events at the Corn Hall? Our SIA-licensed stewards manage entry and audience flow. If an event expects 200 or more, organisers will have Martyn's Law duties when they start, and we can help prepare the arrangements needed.
