The current focus is anti-social behaviour, and separately vehicle-related anti-social behaviour. For a seaside resort and port like Great Yarmouth, those issues land on businesses too: nuisance outside bars and venues, damage to shopfronts, and vehicles misused in car parks or around industrial units. Visible officers, patrols and monitored cameras help keep that off your doorstep. - Police priorities: anti-social behaviour and vehicle nuisance - 100 pubs, bars and nightclubs within 5km - Hospitality at 12.8%, nearly twice the 6.5% average - Crime up 10% in the latest three months Get a Quote [View Great Yarmouth on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Great%20Yarmouth%2C%20Norfolk) Great Yarmouth Business Profile ## A resort and port economy Of Great Yarmouth's 2,740 registered firms, 435 are builders, but hospitality is close behind at 350 and professional services at 335. Hospitality's share, 12.8%, is almost double the 6.5% British figure, which makes door supervisors and evening cover for licensed premises a central need. Every officer we deploy is SIA-licensed, vetted to BS 7858 and employed on PAYE. Retail is also above average, at 10.0% against 7.8%. Shops at Market Gates Shopping Centre, Victoria Arcade and Gapton Hall Shopping Park face a rising shoplifting trend, which uniformed officers and store detectives help deter.
