Newquay's crime figures fell 13% in the latest three months, yet violence and anti-social behaviour still make up most reports. We build door cover, guarding and patrols around that pattern.
Trusted Protection in Newquay
In the year to August 2026, Police.uk recorded 1,948 crimes within a mile of Newquay. Violence and sexual offences led, with anti-social behaviour next, and the police team has made street harassment, begging and drinking a priority. For a business, that means two things: evenings that need trained staff at the door, and premises that need checking once they close. Our officers do both, reporting through GPS book-on and a 24/7 control room.
Newquay Business Profile
Newquay falls within Cornwall council area, which has 25,580 registered businesses. Construction leads with 4,020, agriculture follows with 3,775 and professional services come third on 2,700. Six construction sites are mapped within 5km of the town, and those usually need CCTV towers, patrols or static guards to keep plant and tools where they belong overnight.
Agriculture's 14.8% share is more than three times the 4.5% national figure, so rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are in demand. Utilities, at 1.0% against 0.6%, call for critical-site guarding and remote monitoring. The Hendra Holiday Park Solar Farm is one named site nearby where that kind of cover fits.
Waves Cabaret Club, Lane Theatre and Lighthouse Cinema are the named venues within 5km. Those hosting 200 or more people will face Martyn's Law obligations once the legislation starts, and we can advise on event security before then. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
