Case Study: Metal Detecting Searches for Hampshire Police

Client: Hampshire Police
Locations: Farnborough Leisure Centre (flower beds and skate park), King George V Playing Fields (area around the pavilion), West End Park, and skate park in Manor Park, Aldershot
Service Provided: Specialist Crime Scene Metal Detecting

Hampshire Police requested Bigfoot Security to conduct targeted metal-detecting searches at multiple public recreational sites in Farnborough and Aldershot. The areas of focus included flower beds, skate parks, and open spaces around pavilions, where there had been concerns regarding concealed weapons.

Using advanced metal-detecting equipment and specialist search techniques, our trained operatives conducted thorough sweeps of each site. Previous searches had identified knives pushed into the ground, with the blades concealed and handles protruding—placed in locations that allowed for potential later retrieval rather than disposal. Our team applied the same meticulous methodology, ensuring all reasonably accessible areas were scanned and any metallic objects safely identified and recovered.

This operation highlights Bigfoot Security's expertise in proactive crime prevention and evidence recovery, supporting local authorities in making public spaces safer. Our work not only assists law enforcement but also demonstrates the value of specialist security services in reducing risk and safeguarding community facilities.
