North Wales Police's Pwllheli North team names anti-social behaviour, drugs and speeding as its three priorities. Our patrols, CCTV and licensed officers help local businesses deal with the first two on their own premises.
Trusted Protection in Pwllheli
Anti-social behaviour is the second-largest category of crime within a mile of Pwllheli, with 106 reports in a year, and it heads the local police team's list of concerns. Drugs come next. For a harbour town with a marina, shops and nine licensed premises nearby, that translates into mobile patrols around quiet frontages, monitored CCTV and door supervisors on busier evenings, all backed by our 24/7 control room.
Pwllheli Business Profile
Gwynedd has 5,520 registered businesses. Agriculture is the biggest sector with 1,255, followed by hospitality with 750 and construction with 745. Farming makes up 22.7% of firms here, five times the 4.5% British share, so rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers are a natural fit for land across the peninsula.
Hospitality, at 13.6% against 6.5% nationally, creates demand for door supervisors and evening cover. The officers we deploy in Pwllheli hold SIA licences, are vetted to BS 7858 and are paid through PAYE. Each visit is recorded by GPS book-on and a digital patrol report, giving owners proof of every check made on their behalf.
Neuadd Dwyfor, an arts centre, is the named venue within 5km. Martyn's Law will set requirements for venues hosting 200 people or more once it begins, and our event officers can help with stewarding and planning. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
