North Berwick's East Lothian setting combines hospitality, leisure and farming. We provide key holding, evening door cover and rural patrols for its hotels, shops, units and farms, with oversight from our 24/7 control room.
Trusted Protection in North Berwick
East Lothian's register gives a clear picture of the economy around North Berwick. Hospitality and agriculture each account for 8.3% of firms, against national shares of 6.5% and 4.5%, and leisure and entertainment businesses number 300. In practice that means cafés, hotels and bars that may want an evening door supervisor, attractions and leisure sites that close up at night, and farms where machinery sits in open yards. Each needs a different, proportionate kind of protection.
North Berwick Business Profile
We have not published a count of network officers living near North Berwick, so assignments are crewed from our wider Scottish network and booked in advance, particularly for busy seasons. Officers carry the SIA licence suited to their role, have passed BS 7858 checks and are on our PAYE payroll. Visits are recorded by GPS book-on, and our 24/7 control room holds the digital reports.
East Lothian has 3,305 registered businesses, with construction at 500 and professional services at 455 ahead of leisure and entertainment at 300. For offices and trades, key holding and alarm response are usually enough. Leisure and hospitality premises lean towards evening cover and event stewarding, while agricultural land, at 8.3% of firms, is best served by rural patrols and solar CCTV towers that need no mains power.
Fingers & Thumbs, an arts centre, is the named venue within 5km. Should an event there draw 200 or more people once Martyn's Law is in force, its duties will apply, and stewards can be arranged. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
We use Police.uk for crime statistics, and it does not cover Scotland, so this page has no local figures.
Police Scotland publishes Scottish crime data separately, in a format that does not line up with Police.uk. Instead of presenting incomplete numbers, we leave them out. To understand the risk at a particular property, our free on-site security audit uses a 25-point checklist to assess entry points, lighting, alarm coverage, and the times your building is left unattended.
Local Policing
North Berwick is policed by Police Scotland, and local neighbourhood priorities are published by the force rather than through Police.uk.
Policing in North Berwick is provided by Police Scotland.

North Berwick Security FAQs
Hospitality makes up 8.3% of East Lothian businesses, above the British share. We supply SIA-licensed door supervisors for functions, weddings and busy evenings, booked through our control room and logged digitally.
Units on Heugh Road Industrial Estate or Mill Walk Business Park are often empty at night. Key holding with alarm response is the usual starting point, adding patrols or a POD intruder alarm where a building lacks monitoring.
Agriculture accounts for 8.3% of East Lothian firms, nearly double the national rate. Solar CCTV towers watch yards without mains power, and rural mobile patrols at varied times add a visible check.
Police.uk does not hold Scottish data; Police Scotland publishes its own. Our free audit, worth £250, assesses your premises directly so recommendations are based on your building rather than area averages.
We cover East Linton at 6 miles, Haddington at 7 miles and Dunbar at 9 miles, so businesses with premises in more than one East Lothian town can keep a single provider.
