Cambridgeshire Constabulary's March team has set two priorities: vehicle-related anti-social behaviour around the town centre, and disrupting drug activity. Our patrols and CCTV help Fenland businesses protect premises against both.
Trusted Protection in March
Using public feedback and their own data, officers in March are concentrating on persistent vehicle-related anti-social behaviour and traffic offences in the centres of March, Whittlesey and Chatteris, plus drug activity and safeguarding. For business owners, car parks, yards and shop frontages are where that nuisance shows up. Anti-social behaviour already accounts for 374 recorded offences within a mile, so lighting, recorded CCTV and regular patrol visits are worth considering.
March Business Profile
Fenland has 3,665 registered businesses. Construction is by far the largest group at 725, followed by professional services at 380 and agriculture at 330. Farming's share, 9.0% against 4.5% across Britain, means yards and outbuildings where solar CCTV towers and rural patrols make sense. Transport and logistics is also high at 7.6% against 4.3%, so gatehouse control and yard guarding are relevant for haulage sites near Corner Lodge Industrial Estate.
March bookings are staffed from our wider network of SIA-licensed officers. Each is BS 7858 vetted and paid on PAYE, and every patrol, key holding visit or guarding shift is booked on by GPS so you receive a digital report. Our 24/7 control room handles alarm signals and dispatches key holders when premises are unattended.
