Loddon's neighbourhood officers have picked two concerns for the coming quarter, road safety and ASB across South Norfolk. The second one spills onto business premises, and that is where our patrols and cameras help.
Trusted Protection in Loddon
Norfolk Constabulary sets Loddon's priorities quarterly after talking with residents and partners, and the current pair are ASB and road safety. ASB is the one that reaches commercial property. Police.uk shows 49 reports in Loddon's surrounding mile, about a fifth of everything recorded there. For a unit on Loddon Industrial Estate or a shop in town, that can mean graffiti, damaged signs or groups gathering after closing. A visible patrol at irregular times, plus cameras that record clearly, tends to move the problem on.
Loddon Business Profile
Ten registered security workers in our network have their homes inside a ten-mile ring of Loddon. Half, five people, hold a live SIA badge and accept shifts, and five drive, which is what country patrols and alarm calls rely on. All passed BS 7858 checks and draw PAYE wages. Bigger contracts borrow officers from elsewhere in Norfolk, still reporting to the one control room.
South Norfolk counts roughly 5,965 businesses: 920 in building, 855 in professional services, 610 in farming. Farming's slice, 10.2 per cent, is over twice Britain's 4.5 per cent, and lonely yards and implement stores do best with patrols that never keep to a timetable, plus towers powered by solar panels. Factories edge above the national share, 5.7 per cent to 4.6 per cent, and usually want gate control and alarm attendance.

Security Requirements in Loddon
Loddon is small: four licensed premises and one mapped construction site within 5km. Its named commercial sites are Loddon Industrial Estate, Subbs Green and the Langley Green treatment works. Activity is low after dark, so incidents can go unseen until the morning, which makes alarms with keyholder response and recorded patrols particularly useful.
Farms and outbuildings around Loddon face the same issue on a bigger scale: long gaps between neighbours, very little passing traffic, and a theft that may not be spotted until the next working day.
Services in Loddon
Loddon firms and farms can combine two or three items from this list, such as patrols paired with key holding.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk logged 254 crimes inside the one-mile ring round Loddon over the year to the end of August 2026.
Of the 254, violent or sexual crimes numbered 108, roughly 43%. ASB came next at 49, then public order with 21, damage and arson with 20 and other theft with 19. Compare the newest quarter with its counterpart in 2025 and the rise is 19%. A modest total, then, yet with ASB and damage both present, Loddon owners have reason to keep patrols and cameras in place.

Loddon Security FAQs
ASB is a current Loddon police priority, with 49 Police.uk reports in the surrounding mile. Irregular patrols, good lighting and recorded cameras usually discourage gatherings, and our written logs help police respond.
Ten security workers on our register live inside ten miles. Five carry current SIA badges and are active for shifts, and five drive. If a contract outgrows that, colleagues from other Norfolk towns join under the same control room.
Agriculture is 10.2 per cent of the district's firms, over double Britain's figure. Our rural officers vary their visiting times so nobody can predict them, and solar towers watch yards where mains cables never reached.
We do. Choose from POD intruder alarms, keyholder response, alarm attendance and roaming patrols. GPS stamps each officer visit, and a short digital note follows each one.
The newest quarter came in 19% above the matching months of 2025, out of 254 crimes across the full year. For business owners, ASB and criminal damage are the categories to watch.
