Lockerbie and neighbouring Lochmaben sit in farming country, ringed by sawmills, timber yards and a power station. Our rural patrols, solar CCTV towers and site guards are built around that working landscape.
Trusted Protection in Lockerbie
Look at a 5km map around Lockerbie and the pattern is plain: Steven's Croft Power Station, two sawmills, a forest products firm and a plant machinery business, with a single railway station and a handful of pubs. Lochmaben lies within the same patch. Across Dumfries and Galloway, agriculture accounts for 31.8% of registered businesses, roughly seven times the GB rate. Security here is mostly about spread-out yards, valuable machinery and stock left outdoors, rather than shop floors.
Lockerbie Business Profile
Dumfries and Galloway has 6,390 registered businesses, and 2,035 of them are farms. Construction is second at 765 and hospitality third at 575. That leaves an economy where diesel, quad bikes, tractors and timber sit in open yards overnight. Mobile patrols that call at several holdings on a single route, and solar-powered CCTV towers that work without a grid connection, are the usual answer for farms and forestry businesses.
Hospitality, at 9.0% of businesses compared with 6.5% across Great Britain, adds demand for door supervisors on busy evenings and at functions. Industrial sites such as the sawmills and the power station suit static guarding, gate control and monitored cameras. Whoever we place is SIA-licensed, cleared to BS 7858 and paid on PAYE, and attendance is checked against GPS records by our 24/7 control room.
Lockerbie Little Theatre is the named venue in town. Should a performance or event draw 200 or more people, Martyn's Law would apply. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Lockerbie
Lockerbie's surroundings are defined by wood processing, energy and agriculture rather than retail parks. There is no shopping centre or hospital on the 5km map, just four licensed premises, one mapped construction site and the town station. For a place like this, the main risks are theft of fuel, tools and machinery from isolated sites and unauthorised access to industrial yards after dark.

Crime & Security Data
This page does not show Police.uk crime figures for Lockerbie, and the reason is simple.
Police Scotland publishes Scottish crime data itself, so the Police.uk statistics used on our English and Welsh pages do not cover Lockerbie or Lochmaben. Rather than guess at local risk, we suggest booking our free on-site security audit. One of our team will walk the premises with a 25-point checklist and give you a written view of where your site is exposed.
