Only 129 crimes were recorded within a mile of Usk over a year, yet Gwent Police still name rural crime and anti-social behaviour as local priorities. Our patrols and remote CCTV focus on exactly those risks.
Trusted Protection in Usk
Crime figures near Usk are small, with violence and sexual offences at 43 and anti-social behaviour at 20 the leading categories. The more pressing issue for business owners is the one police single out: rural crime. Monmouthshire's largest sector is agriculture, and farms store machinery, fuel and livestock in places nobody watches overnight. Mobile patrols on varied routes, solar CCTV towers and alarm response through our 24/7 control room are the right tools for that pattern.
Usk Business Profile
We have 25 registered security workers in our network living within 10 miles of Usk, ten of whom carry valid SIA badges and take bookings. Vetting follows BS 7858, and pay runs through PAYE. A local group of that size suits patrol rounds, key holding and alarm response; for longer static assignments, our control room adds officers from neighbouring rotas so cover stays consistent.
Monmouthshire has 4,435 registered businesses. Agriculture leads with 705, close to professional services with 690, and construction has 510. Agriculture's share is 15.9% against 4.5% nationally, which is why rural mobile patrols and solar CCTV towers matter here. Hospitality is slightly above average at 7.2% against 6.5%, and the 15 pubs and bars inside 5km mean evening door cover is also in demand.

Security Requirements in Usk
The only commercial site named within 5km of Usk is BAE Systems Glascoed, and there is no rail station, hospital or retail park in that radius. With agriculture the leading sector, much of the property worth protecting is spread across farms and outbuildings rather than town-centre units. That favours patrols, remote cameras and key holding over permanent guards, with every check recorded by GPS.
