Construction leads with 775, professional services number 645 and leisure and entertainment 455.

Police.uk covers England, Wales and Northern Ireland, while Police Scotland publishes its own figures in a different format. Rather than compare unlike data, we suggest starting with your own premises. We can instead walk your premises for free (a £250 value), checking access points, lighting, alarms and stock storage, then leave you a 25-point risk checklist to work through. Local Policing ## Police Scotland in Johnstone Johnstone is served by Police Scotland. Private guards and patrols complement their work by keeping watch over individual business premises and logging incidents.
