Crime data for Scotland is released by Police Scotland. Rather than estimate a local trend, we judge each site on its own merits: fencing, gates, doors, lighting, alarm coverage, camera angles and who holds which keys. The free on-site audit we offer, normally valued at £250, runs through a 25-point checklist and ends with a short, prioritised list of fixes.
