Behind the 3,262 violent and sexual offences come shoplifting on 902, damage and arson on 541, public order on 509 and other theft on 493. The latest quarter was identical to the year before. Licensees should read the violence figure as an argument for trained door teams; for shops, stable theft levels call for consistent cover through the year rather than a one-off push. 7,634 Recorded crimes in 12 months 3,262 Violence & sexual offences 902 Shoplifting 541 Criminal damage & arson 509 Public order 493 Other theft Source: [Police.uk](https://www.police.uk) open data, street-level crime within ~1 mile, September 2025 to August 2026.

Wolverhampton Security FAQs ## Frequently asked questions ### How should a city-centre bar respond to the violence figures? With 3,262 violent offences inside a mile and police focused on public-place violence, door supervisors earn their keep. They handle admission and refusals, cool disputes before they escalate and keep the incident log your licence depends on. ### Is shoplifting rising in Wolverhampton? Shop theft stood at 902 offences, up 6%, a gentler climb than many places. Losses still add up week after week, so a uniformed officer at busy times stays worthwhile for most stores. ### Can you guard a logistics yard? Freight and warehousing make up 11.3% of the city's firms. We provide gate officers who log vehicles and drivers, overnight yard guards and patrols round trailer parks, backed by 15 local drivers. ### We sell cars. What is the best protection? Motor traders are 4.6% of Wolverhampton businesses. A forecourt camera tower monitored through an NSI Gold accredited centre, together with night patrol calls, deters theft of vehicles and of parts from them. ### Do you have enough local officers? Some 160 people from our network live nearby, and 50 are licensed and taking bookings. That lets us run standing contracts and still respond to extra requests across the city.
