Thames Valley Police's Windsor Central team, which covers Eton, has flagged youths abusing the public on Peascod Street, graffiti in Bachelors Acre and e-bikes around Windsor shopping centre. Our officers help local businesses respond.
Trusted Protection in Eton
Eton is policed by the Windsor Central team, whose 2026 resident survey raised youths verbally abusing people on Peascod Street, door-banging in the late afternoon, graffiti and littering in Bachelors Acre, and begging. Separately, officers are dealing with cyclists, e-bikes and e-scooters near Windsor shopping centre, and the catapulting of birds. For shops and offices in Eton and Windsor, a uniformed retail officer, a closing-time patrol or monitored CCTV adds deterrence alongside that policing.
Eton Business Profile
Our list holds 150 security workers who live inside ten miles of Eton, and 60 currently keep an SIA licence and accept bookings. Fifteen drive their own cars for patrol routes. That depth lets one contract mix reception officers, retail cover and mobile checks. Everyone passes BS 7858 screening and is paid via PAYE, and GPS book-on is recorded by our in-house control room.
Windsor and Maidenhead has 9,215 registered businesses. Professional services make up 2,135 of them, or 23.2% against 15.6% nationally, and tech and communications 1,060, or 11.5% against 7.0%. Construction follows on 935. Offices tend to want concierge, reception security and key holding, while tech and data businesses add access control and CCTV monitoring.
The Theatre Royal, Farrer Theatre and The Fire Station Centre for Arts and Culture are among the venues within 5km. Productions or functions for 200 or more people will be in scope of Martyn's Law once it begins, and our event team can help prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
