Hawick combines industrial estates such as Lochpark and Galalaw with a farming economy and a wide set of venues, from Tower Mill to the Heart of Hawick Cinema. Our security services are matched to that mix.
Trusted Protection in Hawick
Within 5km of Hawick are Lochpark Industrial Estate, Mansfield Gardens Industrial Estate, Galalaw Business Park and the two Burnfoot industrial areas, plus Hawick Trade Park and Hawick Community Hospital. Around the town, nearly a quarter of Scottish Borders businesses are farms. Add 13 pubs and bars and several event spaces, and security in Hawick has to cover industrial units, remote land and busy evenings.
Hawick Business Profile
The Scottish Borders council area has 5,005 registered businesses. Farming heads the list with 1,180, then construction with 680 and professional services with 530. That farming share of 23.6% is over five times the 4.5% seen across Britain, so rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are central to protecting machinery and stores.
The motor trade sits slightly above average, at 3.5% compared with 3.0%, which brings garages and forecourts that benefit from overnight patrols. Officers we place in Hawick hold SIA licences, have passed BS 7858 vetting and are paid via PAYE. GPS book-on and digital reports from our 24/7 control room record every visit.
Tower Mill, the Lowrie Function Suite and Mansfield Park Events are among the named venues within 5km. Events that draw 200 or more people will bring Martyn's Law duties when the Act commences, and our event officers can help organisers plan for it. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Hawick
Hawick is a Roxburghshire town, and its facts describe a place with much of what it needs close at hand: a community hospital, a trade park, five industrial estates and business parks, and a cultural scene that includes two cinemas, an arts centre and a nightclub called Base.
That variety means security needs change through the day: access control at industrial units, stewarding at functions and door supervision at night, with rural patrols covering farmland beyond the town.

Crime & Security Data
Scottish crime statistics come from Police Scotland rather than Police.uk, so we do not show local figures here.
Police.uk, the source behind the crime tiles on our English and Welsh pages, does not publish street-level data for Scotland. For Hawick, the most useful step is to examine your own premises. Our free on-site audit, with a 25-point risk checklist, reviews boundaries, locks, lighting, alarms and cameras and suggests proportionate changes.
Local Policing
Hawick is policed by Police Scotland, which issues its own crime statistics and community plans for the Borders.
Policing in Hawick is provided by Police Scotland.
