The Latest on Avonmouth Security
If you’re in or around Avonmouth, you quite rightly want to be kept updated on the crime and security situation. Is it improving? Has it got worse?
These questions are on the lips of many Avonmouth business owners and residents worried about the apparent rising crime trends in our country.
So once again, we look at facts from the news and the police, to keep you in the loop with the latest and greatest on Avonmouth security.
Crime News in Avonmouth
According to This Is Bristol, Avonmouth has recently made the list of hot areas for domestic violence – a crime the article states many believe is a ‘hidden crime’.
Along with Avonmouth, Lawrence Hill, Hartcliffe and Filwood were also listed as heavy-duty players in the area of domestic violence. And it certainly leaves residents wondering what they can do to prevent it.
Other Statistics for Avonmouth Security
Aside from the domestic violence reports, public statistics from Police.UK show us that for the month of July alone, of the 48 crimes reported, 17 of those were attributed to some form of theft, burglary or shoplifting.
This whopping 35% share of all crimes reported for the month of July (2013) is a worrying statistic for businesses worried about how strong Avonmouth security really is.
And with many businesses failing to understand the value of hiring a professional Avonmouth security company to look after their security affairs, this figure could quite easily rise. In fact, for the month prior to July 2013 (June 2013), the figures for the same crimes (all theft, burglary and shoplifting) stood at just 8/39 – a significantly lower share of only 20%. This could, to some, indicate a rising trend.
It’s Not All Grim
Luckily, Avonmouth isn’t all doom and gloom. Crime figures are actually somewhat lower than some nearby areas, especially the larger areas such as central Bristol – not to mention popular tourist destinations such as Weston Super Mare. It’s also worth noting that in Avonmouth security services are easy to acquire and tend to seem professional in their conduct – many businesses in Avonmouth who use the services of a professional security firm report greater feelings of security, less risk of losing assets, and more confidence in keeping the profit they acquire.
But of course, that still leaves the choice down to whether or not business owners are willing to protect their enterprises by making the small investment into professional security services.
Only time will tell.
