Trusted Protection in Gloucester
Our Gloucester cover starts with people. Of the 60 security workers registered within 10 miles, 30 are SIA-active and available to book, and 15 have their own car for mobile work. That matters for a city with trading estates at Saint James, Madleaze and Chase Lane, shopping at The Eastgate and King's Walk, and a stadium at Kingsholm. We match each assignment to someone who lives nearby and knows the roads.
Gloucester Business Profile
Gloucester has 3,815 registered businesses. Construction is the largest group at 660, ahead of professional services at 440 and business services at 330. With 24 building sites mapped inside 5km, there is steady demand for site guarding, CCTV towers and locked-site patrols. Offices in the professional and business services groups more often want key holding and alarm response, with a written report whenever an officer attends.
Health and care is stronger here than nationally, at 5.9% of firms against 4.4%, so reception security and lone-worker support come up regularly in our planning. Education, at 2.5% against 1.9%, brings gate control and holiday-period protection. Officers are BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and our 24/7 control room tracks each visit through GPS book-on.
Kingsholm Stadium, the Kings Theatre and Pilgrims Yard are among the venues mapped here. Any of them admitting 200 or more people will take on new Martyn's Law duties when the Act begins in 2027. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Gloucester
Gloucester's commercial life runs from The Quays and the shopping streets out to the trading estates and retail parks such as Saint Oswald's and The Peel Centre. The local police team flags youth anti-social behaviour around The Quays and public drinking on the gated streets and Station Road. Shops and venues in those spots benefit from a visible officer and a clear plan for handling confrontation.
Further out, 77 pubs, bars and clubs trade within 5km, and the Gloucestershire Royal Hospital sits in the same radius. Both shape late-evening demand for door supervisors, hospital-adjacent patrols and the kind of cover that keeps a car park orderly after dark.

We cannot show local crime figures for Gloucester at the moment, because the force data is incomplete.
Gloucestershire Constabulary is not publishing complete records to Police.uk, so a one-mile breakdown would be misleading. The neighbourhood priorities below give a sense of current concerns, but for your own premises the better measure is our free on-site security audit, worth £250. It runs through a 25-point checklist and gives you a prioritised list of fixes.
