Watford sits at the south-west corner of Hertfordshire's commercial belt — Clarendon Road's corporate offices, the atria shopping centre's retail concentration, and the Leavesden studios on the periphery all set distinct security demands. Retail crime data locally is amongst the highest in the county outside London.

Local context — fire stopping in Watford
Watford sits at the south-west corner of Hertfordshire's commercial belt — Clarendon Road's corporate offices, the atria shopping centre's retail concentration, and the Leavesden studios on the periphery all set distinct security demands. Retail crime data locally is amongst the highest in the county outside London.
Watford Borough Council's town-centre management team coordinates closely with Hertfordshire Constabulary on retail crime prevention — most multiple retailers operate to the BRC's Loss Prevention Standards (BRCGS) which mandate specific CCTV and intruder-alarm baselines.
