Because Police Scotland releases its statistics separately, the one-mile offence counts printed for English and Welsh towns cannot be reproduced for Govan. A site visit is the better measure. During our free audit, worth £250, an assessor walks your entrances, crowd routes, lighting, cameras and alarms against a 25-point checklist, then ranks what to fix first.
