When a lock fails, an alarm trips or a guard drops out, Walker businesses need someone to call. Our network has 75 registered security workers living within 10 miles, and 35 hold active SIA licences for shifts.
Trusted Protection in Walker
Emergency cover in Walker exists for unplanned gaps: a break-in that leaves a shutter open, a site that loses its usual officer, or an alarm that needs a keyholder. Our 24/7 control room takes the call and arranges an SIA-licensed officer from the local network to attend and stay until the premises are secure. Static guarding, mobile patrols and key holding can then continue for as long as needed.
Walker Business Profile
Seventy-five security workers in the Go Security network have homes inside a 10-mile radius of Walker, and 35 of that group carry an in-date SIA licence and can be booked. A local pool on that scale is what makes short-notice and emergency booking workable. Everyone is BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and each attendance is recorded with GPS book-on and a digital report for the client.
Newcastle upon Tyne has 9,090 registered businesses, led by professional services at 1,500, hospitality at 1,005 and construction at 925. Hospitality is 11.1% of local firms against 6.5% nationally, which means plenty of door and late-evening work. Clinics and care providers form 6.4% of the local base, set against 4.4% for Britain; for them we staff front desks, look after lone workers and fill the overnight gaps.
Newcastle Stadium, Warehouse 34 and The Jubilee Club NE6 are among the venues nearby. Any of them admitting crowds of 200-plus will have Martyn's Law duties when they come in, and our teams can take on bag checks, stewarding and evacuation plans. What Martyn's Law means for venues.

Crime & Security Data
Within a mile of Walker, Police.uk recorded 3,956 offences between September 2025 and August 2026.
Violence and sexual offences made up 1,153 of them, anti-social behaviour 756 and shoplifting 460. Criminal damage and arson reached 432, with public order at 282. Set against the same quarter last year, the newest three months fell by 19%, though shoplifting went the other way, up 47%. Retailers carry most of that pressure, and damage at that level is a reminder that a broken window or door needs securing before the premises can be left.
