Shoplifting within a mile rose 41% in the latest figures, and a retailer may want an officer after a bad week. A production site such as the Tulip Meat Factory may need a replacement gate officer.

Our control room takes those calls at any hour and arranges vetted officers. - Shoplifting up 41% on the year before - Woodbridge Road and Sleaford Moor sites - Agriculture at 10.6% of North Kesteven firms - Police targeting drug dealing in town Get a Quote [View Sleaford on OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=Sleaford%2C%20Lincolnshire) Sleaford Business Profile ## Staffing Sleaford and the business mix Sleaford work is staffed from our wider Lincolnshire network rather than a team based in the town.

Security Requirements in Sleaford ## Sleaford's commercial ground The commercial names on the Sleaford map are Woodbridge Road Industrial Estate, Sleaford Moor Enterprise Park, the renewable energy power station and the Tulip Meat Factory. Sleaford and Rauceby stations serve the area, Rauceby Hospital is within 5km, and around 12 pubs and bars operate locally. Put together, that is food processing running shifts, an energy plant that rarely has many people on site, light industrial units locked at night and a retail centre that police and shopkeepers are both watching. A single provider can cover all four, with one control room keeping the records.

Sleaford Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you provide a guard at short notice in Sleaford? Our 24/7 control room takes requests at any hour and allocates vetted, SIA-licensed officers from our Lincolnshire network, for example to cover an absent guard or secure a damaged site. ### Can you help with rising shoplifting? Shoplifting within a mile of Sleaford rose 41% in the latest figures. Uniformed officers and store detectives deter theft, support staff and keep records for police. ### Do you protect farms near Sleaford? Agriculture makes up 10.6% of North Kesteven businesses. Rural patrols and solar CCTV towers protect machinery and fuel on open land, with GPS-logged visits. ### Can you patrol Woodbridge Road Industrial Estate? Yes. We can fold units on Woodbridge Road, and on Sleaford Moor Enterprise Park, into one mobile round. Officers try doors and shutters at shifting hours, and if your alarm trips, the officer holding your keys attends instead of you. ### What would protect a forecourt full of cars? North Kesteven has more garages and dealers than most areas, 4.8% of firms against 3.0%. A camera tower on the forecourt, monitored remotely, with an officer calling round overnight is the usual answer to vehicle theft.
