Static guards at a gatehouse, supported by mobile patrols that log each checkpoint by GPS, cover most of that. Construction firms, the largest sector, need similar protection for plant and materials, often from CCTV towers on sites without power. Motor trade businesses make up 4.8% of Doncaster firms, well above the 3.0% national figure. Dealerships and repair yards hold valuable vehicles on open forecourts, and CCTV towers with overnight patrols are the usual deterrent. Professional offices are better suited to key holding and alarm response.
