Tewkesbury's neighbourhood officers have set two clear goals: foot patrols against anti-social behaviour, and closer ties with retailers in the Tewkesbury safe scheme. Our guards and patrols are designed to sit alongside that work.
Trusted Protection in Tewkesbury
Gloucestershire Constabulary's Tewkesbury team is putting officers on foot to deal with anti-social behaviour and is building links with shops through the local safe scheme. Private security cannot replace that, but it can add to it. A uniformed retail officer at the Cotswold Designer Outlet, an evening patrol past shuttered units or a monitored camera on a quiet frontage gives the town extra eyes in the places police time cannot always reach.
Tewkesbury Business Profile
Thirty people from our network live within 10 miles of Tewkesbury. Fifteen of them have an SIA licence that is in date and are on our roster for bookings, and five of that group drive, which helps with patrol routes between rural sites. Screening follows BS 7858 and wages are paid on PAYE, so every officer is a direct employee.
The Tewkesbury council area counts about 4,490 registered businesses. Builders are the largest single group at 700, with professional services close behind at 675. Agriculture stands at 7.6% of firms compared with a British 4.5%, while manufacturing reaches 6.0% against 4.6%. Farms suit solar CCTV towers and rural patrols; factories suit gate guards, access control and alarm response.
The Roses theatre and Gupshill Manor are the named venues within 5km. Premises able to host 200 people or more will be covered by Martyn's Law from 2027, and our event staff can support you through the run-up. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Security Requirements in Tewkesbury
A short radius around Tewkesbury takes in the Cotswold Designer Outlet, Ashchurch for Tewkesbury station, the community hospital, four mapped building sites and 23 pubs, bars and nightclubs. Business space is spread between Ashchurch Business Centre, Highfield Business Park and the warehouses at Healings Flour Mill.
Shoppers at the outlet, stock in warehouses and late trade in licensed premises create three different security problems, each solved in its own way.

For a picture of your particular premises, our free on-site audit, worth £250, scores the building against a 25-point risk checklist and leaves you with written advice.

Tewkesbury Security FAQs
The local police team wants stronger links with retailers in the scheme. A uniformed retail officer or store detective adds a trained presence on the shop floor, keeps records of incidents and can share information through the proper channels.
Gloucestershire Constabulary's returns to Police.uk are incomplete just now, so we leave the figures out rather than show partial ones. Our free audit, judged against a 25-point checklist, is a better guide to your own exposure.
