Security Services in Hinckley

Make your shop the hard one. Police have flagged a new trend of offenders travelling into Hinckley by rail, lifting stock and leaving. They pick shops with nobody on the door and no one watching the aisles.

As a security company in Hinckley, we put a trained officer where they’ll be seen. Known faces get turned away at the door. When something does go, the officer writes it up with the time, a description and the camera reference, and passes it to police. In one October week, officers identified four suspects in the town centre. Good notes are what make that happen.

The borough’s Public Spaces Protection Order, brought in on 9 May 2024, covers drinking alcohol in public places right across Hinckley and Bosworth, and psychoactive substances too. Police and council officers can seize drink and hand out fixed penalties of up to £100. In court, the fine can reach £1,000.

Our officers can’t enforce it. They’re not police or council officers. What our private security guards in Hinckley can do is keep your doorway clear, ask people to move on and log every incident. When the same people keep coming back to Argents Mead or Castle Street, that log helps the beat team act.

Yes. MIRA Technology Park keeps growing. Plot 9 alone is 72,000 square feet of R&D space across two units, built by GMI. Then there’s housing going up round Barwell, Earl Shilton and Burbage, and warehouse builds near the M69.

R&D sites need tight access control even before the tenants move in, because the fit-out kit is expensive and easy to move. Housing sites lose boilers, kitchens, copper and tools. Construction security in Hinckley usually means a gate officer by day, then patrols or a static guard at night. We’ll walk the hoarding after every storm.

It’s mostly the gate during the day and the fence at night. Dodwells Bridge, Hinckley Fields, Logix Park and Harrowbrook are full of engineering firms, manufacturers and distribution units, all minutes from the A5 and M69.

Manned guarding in Hinckley on those estates means vehicle logs, delivery notes matched to loads, contractor sign-ins and a last walk round once the final shift’s gone. Commercial security in Hinckley includes watching the empty unit next to yours, because thieves love a quiet neighbour. Security for commercial properties in Hinckley starts with a site walk, and our risk mitigation services in Hinckley come from what we see.

Absolutely. The Transport Secretary refused the Hinckley National Rail Freight Interchange on 10 March 2025, but that doesn’t change the warehouses already here. Hinckley’s position between the M69, the A5, the M1 and the M6 keeps the existing distribution parks busy.

Busy yards mean high-value loads parked overnight, agency drivers and constant comings and goings. Our officers handle seal checks, trailer counts and driver sign-ins, and they walk the yard between deliveries. For quieter sites, mobile patrols in Hinckley at random times plus alarm response usually does the job for much less.

Start with the drink rules. Because the PSPO covers public drinking across the borough, outdoor events serving alcohol need clear boundaries and someone keeping an eye on them. Market days on Castle Street, which run Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays, also mean busier streets around any event.

Event security in Hinckley changes a lot from one venue to the next. A show at the Concordia Theatre needs front of house and the stage door covered. OctoBIDfest across the town’s bars needs extra door staff. Something on Argents Mead needs entrances, bag checks, stewards and somebody on the welfare point. We’ll tell you honestly how many officers you need.

Yes. Empty town centre shops and vacant units on the estates attract break-ins, rough sleeping and graffiti quickly. Vacant property security in Hinckley means visits at random times, a check inside and out, and photos of every door, window and meter.

Private property security in Hinckley suits owners who don’t live locally. Property security in Hinckley for flats and HMOs can be a nightly patrol round bins and car parks. Community security services in Hinckley also work for a row of shops sharing the cost. Security for residential properties in Hinckley is often patrols, keyholding and alarm response together.

We do, if we’re holding your keys. Otherwise it’s you, or a manager driving in from Nuneaton to stand in a dark car park alone. Not a great plan.

With key holding services in Hinckley, the alarm company rings our control room instead of you, and an officer gets there within 45 minutes of activation. They check inside and out, reset the system if it’s safe and send a report with photos. If it’s a real break-in, they call Leicestershire Police, protect the scene and stay until it’s secure.

Call before midday and it’s normally the same day. If you’ve been broken into, or someone else’s guard is a no-show, we aim to have emergency cover there in 2 to 4 hours. Planned shifts tend to start a day or two after the details are sorted.

You can hire security guards in Hinckley for one night, a season or long term, with no lock-in. Ring 023 8111 2814 or fill in the form, and we’ll email back within 4 working hours.

Depends on the hours. Guards are charged hourly, patrols by the visit. A guard on your shop door from 9 till 5, six days a week, is 48 hours. Three overnight patrol visits to a locked unit is three visits a night, a lot less money.

Security guard services in Hinckley also change with the seasons. Shops want extra before Christmas. Bars want more door staff for OctoBIDfest. Warehouses want more over peak. We’ll quote after a site walk, and you only pay for the hours you need.
