Hednesford Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Our premises were broken into overnight. Can you help? Call our 24/7 control room on 0800 471 4792. We can arrange a guard to protect a damaged site, a CCTV tower for an open yard, or key holding so someone with access attends future alarms. Criminal damage accounted for 124 local offences last year. ### Can you cover a guard who has not turned up? We hold 35 registered security workers within 10 miles of Hednesford, of whom 10 are SIA-licensed and active for shifts. Our control room checks availability across that pool when a client needs a replacement and confirms attendance through GPS book-on. ### Do you respond to factory alarms? Yes. Manufacturing is 8.3% of businesses in Cannock Chase, well above the 4.6% national share, and alarm response with key holding is a standard arrangement for production sites. Officers check the building, reset where possible and file a digital report. ### We run a car dealership. What works best? Motor trade firms are 4.9% of local businesses, against 3.0% across Great Britain. Forecourts usually pair CCTV towers monitored by an NSI Gold accredited centre with overnight mobile patrols, which deter vehicle theft and record any activity on site. ### How much shop theft is there in Hednesford? Police.uk recorded 91 shoplifting offences within a mile over the year, a smaller share than violence or anti-social behaviour. Shops at Victoria Shopping Park or the Orbital Centre can still book retail officers or add CCTV monitoring, and our free audit identifies weak points.
