NEED SECURITY FOR YOUR AREA?

Guard My Street.
Start here.

Bring nearby residents together to shape a shared external patrol for your area. Tell us how many households are interested, how many visits you want each week and what times suit the neighbourhood. We will review the route, permissions and practical cover, then confirm the group price before anyone subscribes.

View package options and start a local enquiry. Your postcode does not confirm patrol availability.

NEIGHBOURS SHARE THE COST

A regular residential patrol subscription can give your community a visible professional presence, reassurance and peace of mind. These packages are starting points for your neighbourhood proposal; the agreed schedule states the number of visits, their duration and coverage windows.

Each plan is quoted for the actual route. The 5, 10 and 14 visits are proposed weekly schedules. Visit duration, checks and time windows are defined in your quotation. A visit covers the agreed route; it is not 20 minutes at every property. Recurring neighbourhood patrols are priced for that route. Sign quantity, placement and the reporting arrangements are included in the proposal.

One neighbourhood plan. A contribution from each home.

  1. Register local interest. One resident can start with their street and postcode; neighbours can register separately and name the same street.
  2. Shape the schedule. Start with at least five visits per week and specify the times of greatest concern. A visit means attendance on the agreed neighbourhood route, not a separate visit to every home.
  3. Review the proposal. We confirm the route, duties, weekly total, minimum participation and each household’s contribution. For an 18-home community, if all 18 households join and contribute equally, each pays one eighteenth of the agreed weekly total. The minimum number of paying participants is confirmed in the proposal.
  4. Subscribe once agreed. The start date, subscription terms and what happens if a participant leaves are settled before the scheme starts. Registering interest takes no payment.

Patrols focus on an agreed visible presence, exterior observation and reporting, with concerns escalated to operations or emergency services as appropriate. Coverage is limited to the confirmed schedule; immediate danger should be reported to 999.

Try a defined patrol plan before committing.

Request a short trial, such as 20 route visits over four weeks, or choose an exact calendar-month allowance. We confirm the scope, day and night split, total price and reporting arrangements before payment.

How would neighbours pay?

You can request separate resident contributions or nominate one organiser to pay the whole agreed invoice. Operations confirms the collection arrangements, minimum funding and deadline in the proposal. Patrols start only after the route is approved, the required total is verified as paid and officers are allocated.

If a contribution is missing, operations contacts the group to agree a later start, a smaller revised plan, a voluntary replacement contribution or cancellation and any refund due under the agreed terms. Nobody is automatically charged the missing amount.

What about patrol credits?

A prepaid visit allowance can be discussed as part of the quotation. Each allowance would describe a defined visit on the approved route, with day/night rates, use-by dates, unused visits and refund terms stated before purchase. The planner records your preference; it does not sell credits or show a live wallet.

VISIBLE PRESENCE. OBSERVE. REPORT.

What happens on a street patrol?

  1. Drive through the agreed route. The officer observes the street and participating properties within the booked visit window.
  2. Stop safely and check on foot. Where agreed and safe, the officer parks and walks the specified route or external areas that residents have authorised.
  3. Record what was observed. Log completed visits and report relevant exterior observations, damage or suspicious activity through the agreed reporting channel.
  4. Escalate concerns. Contact operations, the nominated resident or emergency services as appropriate. This package does not include physical intervention, property entry, keyholding or noise enforcement.

Tell us about recurring antisocial behaviour, criminal damage, nuisance noise or people trying vehicle door handles. These concerns help shape the route and timing; patrols cannot guarantee that incidents will stop.

Shared patrols for neighbouring businesses.

Shops, offices and business estates can also request a joint vehicle patrol route, with agreed checks at participating premises every day or on selected days each week. The group shares the quoted fee under a defined schedule.

BRING YOUR NEIGHBOURS TOGETHER

Share a link for your street.

Send the same invitation to your community. Each neighbour registers separately using the street and postcode carried in the link. We review those enquiries together; sharing a link does not sign anyone up or start payments.

YOUR AREA. YOUR PATROL PROPOSAL.

Plan patrols for your street.

Enter your postcode, choose a schedule and tell us what needs looking at. We quote for the actual route before payment. An optional budget helps you explore the contribution each neighbour might make.

1. Area and patrol schedule

Five visits each week is 20 visits over four weeks. A calendar month is longer than four weeks in most cases: select “Each calendar month” and enter 20 if you want exactly 20 visits a month. Daytime runs from 06:00; all times refer to UK local time.

2. Shared budget and funding preference

Complete a schedule to see your proposal.

This is a planning tool, not a quotation or payment request. The minimum participation, contribution amounts, funding deadline and start date are agreed before the service begins. A shortfall does not authorise an automatic extra charge to the organiser or other residents.

3. What needs looking at?

We propose observation, agreed checks on foot or by vehicle, reporting and escalation. No physical intervention, property entry, keyholding or noise enforcement is included.

4. Known risks and patrol safety — required before review

Give factual concerns so operations can assess safe staffing, communications and escape routes. Do not ask an officer to confront anyone. For immediate danger, call 999.

5. Contact, reporting and quotation details

Neighbours provide their own details when registering. Do not enter a list of neighbours’ numbers or add anyone to a reporting group without their agreement. Reporting channels and recipients are confirmed with operations.
