Anti-social driving and e-scooter use in Millom town centre and Haverigg are the stated focus of the local Cumbria Constabulary team. We help Millom businesses protect premises, car parks and staff around that issue.
Trusted Protection in Millom
Residents told the Millom and South Copeland team that anti-social driving and e-scooters were their main worry, with locations in the town centre and Haverigg named. For a shop, garage or industrial unit, that kind of behaviour shows up as damaged fencing, near misses in car parks and nuisance after closing. Millom premises can respond with lit, monitored entrances, CCTV towers on open yards and scheduled mobile patrols that leave a time-stamped record of every visit.
Millom Business Profile
Cumberland has 10,640 registered businesses, and agriculture is the largest group at 2,245. That equals 21.1% of firms, more than four times the 4.5% British figure. Construction follows at 1,440 and hospitality at 1,010. Farms around Millom carry machinery, fuel and livestock on open land, so rural patrol routes and solar CCTV towers are the obvious tools.
Hospitality runs at 9.5% of local firms against 6.5% nationally, so door supervisors and evening cover are often part of the conversation, especially with 12 pubs, bars and nightclubs within 5km. Officers we deploy are SIA-licensed, BS 7858 vetted and on PAYE, and our in-house control room operates 24/7 to handle alarms and log each GPS-tracked patrol.
Millom Palladium, the Millom Heritage and Arts Centre and the Beggar's Theatre give the town a cultural scene; venues admitting 200 or more people will have to meet Martyn's Law when it begins. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
Police.uk recorded 288 crimes within a mile of Millom from September 2025 to August 2026.
Violence and sexual offences made up 154 of those, more than half the total. Public order came next at 35, then criminal damage and arson at 32, drugs at 15 and other crime at 10. The latest three months were 11% lower than the same months a year earlier. Numbers are modest, but damage and disorder still argue for basic measures: lighting, alarm response and occasional patrols for premises left empty overnight.
