Trusted Protection in Wythenshawe
Wythenshawe is a large district in south Manchester, close to the airport and once among Europe's biggest council estates. Because Greater Manchester Police is not publishing complete Police.uk data, we can't show local crime figures here. What we can show is people: 145 security workers in our network live nearby, 45 of them with a car for patrol work. The Woodhouse Park police team names shoplifting and anti-social behaviour around the Civic Centre and Forum, which shapes much of the retail guarding we plan.

A pool of 145 registered security workers gives rota planners room to work with.

Every officer is BS 7858 vetted and paid through PAYE, and each shift is booked on by GPS and reported to our 24/7 control room.
Manchester holds 24,550 registered businesses. Professional services lead with 4,455, retail follows on 2,915 and hospitality on 2,035. Two sectors sit well above the British average: retail at 11.9% and wholesale at 5.7% against 3.6%. For shops that points to uniformed officers and store detectives; for wholesale yards it means gatehouse control, warehouse guarding and patrols after the shutters come down.
Northenden Players Theatre Club, Styal Lodge and The Tatton Arms are among the local venues. Any of them planning for 200 or more people will be covered by Martyn's Law when it takes effect, and our stewards can help prepare. What Martyn's Law means for venues.
