The Environment Agency recorded over 1.09 million fly-tipping incidents in England in the last reported year — and the trend is worsening. Large-scale commercial fly-tipping, involving multiple vehicles, repeat offenders, and hazardous materials including asbestos, chemical waste, and contaminated soil, is a primary criminal enterprise operating across the West Midlands, Worcestershire, and the wider Midlands.
Managing agents, rural estate owners, industrial landowners, and local authorities face the same problem: by the time fly-tipping is discovered, the offenders are gone, the evidence is degraded, and the clearance cost falls entirely on the landowner. Without deterrence, without intelligence, and without an enforcement-ready evidence package, the same sites are hit repeatedly by the same operators. Our Worcestershire Security Intelligence Briefing tracks these patterns monthly.
Risk Secured's Critical Intervention service deploys rapid-response CCTV towers with full ANPR capability on active and at-risk sites within 24 hours. We identify vehicles, operators, and repeat offenders via VCIN — our national vehicle intelligence network. We build evidence packages for Environment Agency enforcement, police action, and civil legal proceedings. And we coordinate directly with EA investigators throughout.
Operational delivery is coordinated through our Critical Intervention Team. For the dedicated fly-tipping response portal — including site reporting, investigation updates, and EA referral — visit flytippingresponse.co.uk.
The Critical Intervention Team's dedicated portal for fly-tipping response across the West Midlands and Midlands. Site reporting, investigation status, EA coordination, and ANPR intelligence — all in one place.
Visit flytippingresponse.co.uk →Solar and battery-powered CCTV towers deployed on site within 24 hours. No mains power required — fully rural capable. High-definition cameras covering all access points, with remote monitoring and alert capability. ANPR-enabled for vehicle capture on every movement in and out.
Automatic Number Plate Recognition captures every vehicle entering or exiting the site. All plates checked in real time against VCIN — Risk Secured's national vehicle intelligence network. Vehicles linked to known waste crime operators and prolific offenders are flagged immediately and recorded for evidence.
The Vehicle Check Intelligence Network cross-references vehicles active at your site against a national picture of waste crime operators, flagging known offenders and building patterns of behaviour across multiple sites and multiple counties.
Every attendance, observation, and vehicle capture is logged in real time via DOB·Live — Risk Secured's digital occurrence book. Timestamped, tamper-evident, and exportable in formats accepted by the Environment Agency, police, and civil courts. The handwritten incident log is not a standard we work to.
Risk Secured has direct operational experience of coordinating with Environment Agency waste crime investigators. We understand the evidence standards required for EA enforcement action and structure every evidence package to meet those requirements — not just hand over footage and step back.
CCTV and ANPR intelligence is supplemented by mobile patrol attendance — providing physical deterrence, real-time incident response, and officer-level observation that camera systems alone cannot replicate. SIA licensed. DOB·Live equipped on every attendance.
Rapid site visit or remote assessment within 24–48 hours of first contact. We identify access points, offender patterns, priority evidence requirements, and the appropriate CCTV deployment configuration before any equipment goes on site.
CCTV tower deployed within 24 hours of instruction. ANPR active from installation. Remote monitoring operational. VCIN intelligence checks running on all captured plates from day one — cross-referencing against national waste crime intelligence immediately.
DOB·Live records every observation, vehicle capture, and incident in real time. Evidence packages compiled continuously — formatted for Environment Agency, police, and civil court submission. Evidence is built from day one, not compiled retrospectively when enforcement action is requested.
Direct liaison with EA waste crime investigators and police. Intelligence shared in actionable format. Risk Secured works alongside enforcement agencies — not just handing over footage and waiting. We have the operational background to engage with investigators as practitioners, not as a passive data provider.

Every vehicle that enters a fly-tipping site is checked against the national VCIN database in real time. Vehicles linked to known waste crime operators are flagged immediately — before they have finished unloading. Intelligence from one site feeds into the national network, cross-referencing against activity across the entire Midlands.
Visit vcin.co.uk →Every Risk Secured attendance, observation, and ANPR capture is logged in real time via DOB·Live. Evidence packages are exportable in EA and police submission formats — timestamped, tamper-evident, and defensible in court. Managing agents and landowners access records via the client portal in real time throughout the operation.

Critical Intervention is Risk Secured's specialist service for sites facing immediate and escalating threats — primarily illegal fly-tipping, unauthorised encampments, and organised waste crime. It combines rapid CCTV and ANPR deployment within 24 hours, VCIN vehicle intelligence, DOB·Live evidence logging, and direct Environment Agency coordination. It is an active intelligence-led response, not just camera hire.
Yes. Both require the same core capability: rapid deployment, real-time evidence capture via DOB·Live, ANPR vehicle intelligence through VCIN, and coordination with statutory authorities. For fly-tipping, we build an evidence package suitable for Environment Agency prosecution. For unauthorised encampments, evidence is structured for injunction and possession proceedings. Most clients facing one are at risk of the other.
Yes. Repeat fly-tipping is almost always predictable — the same access points, the same vehicle types, the same time windows. ANPR-capable CCTV towers monitor entry points and capture vehicle registration data in real time via VCIN. Evidence packages are structured for Environment Agency referral, Fixed Penalty Notices, and prosecution. We also advise on physical hardening — barriers, gates, bunding — to complement electronic surveillance.
Yes. All officers deployed on Critical Intervention operations hold valid SIA licences. Officers who engage directly with individuals on site also carry door supervisor licences where required. Every operative is BS7858 vetted with full employment and identity checks completed before deployment.
Yes. Body-worn cameras are standard on all Critical Intervention deployments. Footage is logged in DOB·Live with tamper-evident metadata — time, date, GPS location — making it suitable for use as evidence in legal proceedings, Environment Agency referrals, and injunction applications.
DOB·Live is our real-time operations platform. Every operative check-in, camera deployment, patrol visit, and incident report is timestamped and GPS-verified at the moment it occurs. Clients receive a live dashboard and can download a full evidenced report at any time. There is no retrospective data entry — the record is created in the field, in real time.
National security companies are built around volume — large contracts, standardised rosters, centralised management. Risk Secured is a specialist operator: senior management comes from HM Forces and RAF Police counter-terrorism backgrounds and is directly involved in every Critical Intervention deployment. We have developed proprietary intelligence tools — VCIN and DOB·Live — that national companies do not have access to. Decision-making happens at the site level, not through a call centre.
West Midlands — Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Coventry — and throughout Worcestershire. For urgent deployments outside these areas, contact us directly — we will advise whether we can mobilise.
CCTV and ANPR towers can be on site within 24 hours of instruction. Operative deployment for immediate response to an active incident can be arranged within hours. Contact us directly with your situation — we'll give you a realistic mobilisation time on the first call.
Cost depends on the nature of the threat, the number of access points, the required coverage period, and the monitoring level. We price on an open-book basis — you see exactly what you are paying for and why. Contact us with your site details and we'll provide same-day indicative pricing. See our guide to ethical security procurement for how we approach cost and value.
