Framlingham's recorded crime is low, at 132 offences within a mile in a year. The risks that remain are damage, theft and anti-social behaviour, which we answer with alarms, key holding and patrols.
Trusted Protection in Framlingham
Police.uk counted 132 offences inside a one-mile radius of Framlingham during the year to August 2026. Violence and sexual offences account for 60. Behind them come criminal damage and arson at 17, other theft at 13 and anti-social behaviour at 12. For a farm, workshop or shop, that profile points to protecting buildings and equipment overnight and at weekends, rather than posting guards by day.
Framlingham Business Profile
East Suffolk has 9,415 registered businesses. Construction leads with 1,390, professional services follow with 1,215 and agriculture with 800. Farming is 8.5% of all firms, almost double the 4.5% British figure, so many properties near Framlingham are barns, sheds and yards. Solar CCTV towers that need no mains supply and patrols on unpredictable timings suit them well.
Transport and logistics is also above average, at 6.9% of firms against 4.3%. Depots and yards with parked vehicles need gatehouse control or overnight guarding. Our officers carry SIA licences, have passed BS 7858 vetting and are employed on PAYE; each visit is stamped by GPS when they arrive, and a digital write-up follows.

Security Requirements in Framlingham
Our map shows no industrial estates, retail parks, stations or hospitals within 5km of Framlingham, and eight pubs and bars. Commercial property is therefore small-scale and scattered: farm buildings, workshops, shops and hospitality premises. The police team's priorities, anti-social behaviour in the town and speeding on surrounding roads, reflect that rural setting. For owners, the concern is usually a problem going unnoticed overnight.
