Anti-social behaviour, both across Anglesey and around Holyhead Maritime Museum, tops the local policing agenda in Holyhead. Our mobile patrols, monitored CCTV and SIA-licensed officers help businesses deal with the same problem on their own premises.
Trusted Protection in Holyhead
The Holyhead Town team of North Wales Police has set three priorities: anti-social behaviour on Anglesey, anti-social behaviour at Holyhead Maritime Museum, and enforcement action on ketamine. Police.uk recorded 347 anti-social behaviour incidents within a mile of Holyhead over twelve months. Property owners can support that work by keeping their own sites watched, lit and recorded, and we provide the patrols, cameras and alarm response to do it, all coordinated by our 24/7 control room.
Holyhead Business Profile
The Isle of Anglesey has 2,725 registered businesses, and agriculture leads by a wide margin with 610 of them. Farming makes up 22.4% of island firms, around five times the 4.5% British average. Remote farm buildings and machinery are well suited to rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers, which run without a mains connection and are monitored through an NSI Gold accredited monitoring centre.
Construction follows with 395 businesses and hospitality with 335. At 12.3% of local firms, hospitality is far above the 6.5% national share, and pubs, hotels and late bars often need door supervisors and evening cover. Every officer we place is SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, with GPS book-on at the start of each shift.
The Ucheldre Centre and the Conservative Club both host events within 5km. Gatherings of 200 or more will fall under Martyn's Law when it commences, and we can provide stewards and help organisers plan searches and evacuation. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
