When a business, farm or heritage site in Minchinhampton or Nailsworth is left exposed after a break-in or an equipment fault, our control room, open around the clock, can put temporary measures in place, from an officer at the gate to a camera tower.
Trusted Protection in Minchinhampton
Minchinhampton's police team reports rising anti-social behaviour around Summersfield Road and Chalford Hill, more crime at sites of local interest, and a focus on rural crime. Those are the kinds of problems that tend to surface suddenly: a gate forced overnight, a damaged outbuilding, an alarm on an empty property. Our control room can book a guard, a patrol visit or a temporary tower, and we can turn that into regular cover if needed.
Minchinhampton Business Profile
Stroud district has around 5,810 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 1,000, construction has 840 and agriculture 445. Farming accounts for 7.7% of firms against a British 4.5%, so rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are a natural fit. Manufacturing sits at 6.1%, clear of the 4.6% norm, and production sites such as Renishaw Woodchester typically need static guarding, access control and alarm response.
Minchinhampton is looked after by officers who travel between sites and by shifts planned in our own control room. They are licensed by the SIA, checked to BS 7858 and paid on PAYE. Patrols are time-stamped by GPS when officers arrive, and a report lists exactly what was checked.
The New Lawn stadium, Three Storeys and the Performing Arts Centre all host gatherings within 5km. Venues admitting 200 people or more will be in scope of Martyn's Law once the Act takes effect, which we can help organisers prepare for. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
Gloucestershire Constabulary is not publishing complete data to Police.uk, so we cannot show local figures here.
Without a reliable local breakdown, the police team's own priorities are the best guide: anti-social behaviour in parts of the town and Chalford Hill, crime at heritage sites and rural crime. To see how those risks apply to your property, book our free on-site audit, worth £250, which follows a 25-point checklist.
