Drugs are the issue Middlewich police have put on record, and the knock-on effects, from damage to disorder, reach local firms. We protect Middlewich premises with patrols, monitored cameras and guarding.
Trusted Protection in Middlewich
Middlewich's neighbourhood team has noted an issue with drugs, and the wider figures show the side effects businesses tend to feel: 149 public order offences and 87 incidents of criminal damage or fire-raising close to the centre. Unlit yards, rear doors and quiet car parks attract that kind of activity. Go Security responds with patrols at varying hours on estates such as King Street Trading Estate and Ergo Park, towers over open ground, and a keyholding officer for alarm calls.
Middlewich Business Profile
Middlewich rotas are drawn from our Cheshire officers as a whole. Licences come from the SIA, vetting meets BS 7858 and pay runs through PAYE, with nobody hired through a third party. A GPS book-on opens each shift, and controllers in our own room watch rounds and alarm calls at any hour, then issue a digital log that shows exactly when each door was checked.
Cheshire East counts roughly 19,755 firms. Professional services lead, 3,725 strong, and at 18.9% of the total they outpace the 15.6% British share, which means offices wanting reception desks, keyholding and alarm attendance. Construction counts 2,185 firms, matched locally by 21 building plots on the map. Agriculture at 6.5% adds a rural strand, best served by solar towers and patrols.
The Vaults nightclub, Canalside Conference Centre and Barton Stadium all lie within 5km. Crowds of 200-plus will bring Martyn's Law into play once it is live, and our team can run searches and entry checks on the day. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Wharton Retail Park and Winsford station are nearby, as is Weaver Lodge Independent Hospital.
With 26 licensed premises and 21 construction plots in range, firms here juggle evening nuisance in the centre with overnight risk to plant, stock and vehicles on the estates, so cover often needs to change with the hour.

Middlewich Security FAQs
Police have flagged drugs as the local priority, and related problems such as damage (87 offences) and public order (149) appear in the Police.uk figures. Lighting, monitored cameras and patrols make premises far less attractive.
Yes. Estates such as King Street, Ergo Park and Oasis Business Park make up much of our night work. Officers vary their timing, check locks and fences, and GPS logs each visit for your report.
Twenty-one construction plots appear on the local map. We cover them with static officers, solar towers, dog teams or regular rounds, adjusting as each project moves from groundwork to fit-out.
Our licensed stewards and door teams work events at venues like Barton Stadium and the Canalside Conference Centre. Where 200 people or more are expected, we also help plan for Martyn's Law.
Much less than before. Police.uk shows shop theft down 78% in the newest quarter against a year earlier, so local retailers may need lighter cover than town centres where theft is still rising.
