ServicesCar meet prevention
Keep car meets off your land.
Unauthorised car meets turn a quiet car park into a late-night show of revving engines. Customers feel intimidated, litter and tyre marks are left behind, and the repair bill lands with you. We look at your site plan, close it off where we can, and put officers there on the nights meets happen.

Advice from the site plan.
Meets happen where a car park is open, big and badly lit. We look at your entrances, lighting and the nights trouble starts, then recommend the simplest way to stop it.
Entrances looked at
Which ones can close at night, and how.
Problem nights
When meets happen, from your staff, your footage and the neighbours.
Plain advice
Sometimes a barrier is all you need, and we will say so.
Locked down after closing.
If your site shuts in the evening, the simplest fix is not letting anyone in. Officers close gates and barriers at the agreed time and turn away anyone without permission.
Gates and barriers closed
At closing, every night, logged with a time.
Authorised access only
Staff, deliveries and keyholders let through.
Opened in the morning
Ready for your first customers.
Officers on the nights meets happen.
Where the car park has to stay open, an officer on site changes the mood. Drivers who would gather in an empty car park tend to drive on when someone is there taking notes.
Static officers
On the busiest nights, from early evening.
Patrol visits
Marked vehicles calling in through the night.
K9 teams
Where a site is large and needs a stronger presence.
Moving a meet on calmly.
If a meet has already started, officers ask the group to leave on your behalf and stay until they do. A firm, polite approach works far better than a confrontation.
Asked to leave
Clearly, on your behalf as landowner.
Kept calm
No chasing and no blocking cars in.
Police called
If anyone refuses, drives dangerously or causes damage.
Damage and plates on record.
When damage is done, you need evidence. Officers photograph and film it, note registrations and times, and pass the lot to the police if you ask.
Photos and video
Tyre marks, litter, damage and the vehicles involved.
Registrations logged
Plates, times and descriptions written down.
Ready for police
A clear record you can hand over.
Fewer meets, week by week.
Groups go where it is easy. Once your car park is shut off and watched every time, they tend to stop coming. We review the cover with you and scale it back as the meets drop away.
Weekly review
What happened, and whether cover can come down.
Cover reduced
From officers to patrols as things settle.
Back on call
Stepped up again if meets return.
Built for car parks after dark.
Big, open, empty car parks are where meets start. Closing them off and staying visible brings them to an end.
Customers put off
Noise and revving that make people avoid your site.
Litter left behind
Cans, food wrappers and tyre debris for your staff to clear each morning.
Entrances left open
Gates and barriers closed at the agreed time.
No evidence for police
Registrations, photos and times recorded every time.
How it works
From site review to quiet nights.
- 01
Site review
We study your site plan and walk the car park at the times meets happen.
- 02
Plan
Lock-down times, barriers, officers or patrols, agreed in writing.
- 03

Officers on site on problem nights, often within days.
- 04
Review
Logs and evidence each week, with cover adjusted as meets drop off.
What works
Officers, barriers, or signs alone.
Signs on their own rarely stop a meet. Barriers help where the site can close. Officers handle the rest.
Deterrence
Visible
Someone on site and a marked vehicle in view.
Closed sites
Locked down
Barriers and gates shut at closing time.
Open sites
Watched
Officers present on the nights meets happen.
Evidence
Recorded
Plates, photos and damage logged for the police.

Scaled back
Cover reduced as the meets stop.
The rules
Lawful steps
Officers ask trespassers to leave private land on the owner's behalf and call the police where needed. Ignis Shield never claims police powers.
Rules we work toWords from a client go here once one agrees to be quoted. Until then, the night logs speak for the work.
FAQ
Questions people ask about car meets.
Can you make people leave our car park?
Acting for you as landowner, our officers can ask people to leave private land. If they refuse or commit offences, we call the police.
Do you fine drivers?
No. We are not a parking enforcement company. Our job is prevention and evidence.
What if our car park must stay open?
Then officers on the problem nights, plus patrol visits, are usually the answer. Better lighting and signs help too.
Will you record registrations?
Yes. Officers note plates, times and any damage, with photos or video, and pass them to the police if you ask.
How quickly can you start?
Often within days. Tell us which nights are worst and we will start there.
How long will we need cover?
Usually less time than people expect. Once a site is shut off and watched, meets tend to move elsewhere, and we scale back.
