Bobby Adam on Patrol
Some of the issues faced daily by our bobbies.
“I am a Director of Hadley Wood Security Limited which is a company that exists to collect residents income and appoint a security company to provide patrol services 24/7 in the local area. MLB have recently won the tender and to summarise: they are in a different league. MLB are owned and operated by two ex-police Borough Commanders and to be honest, this really shows in their operational protocols. I have run this company for the past 15 years and we have never experienced service and professionalism on this level. The supervision and support provided by the management go way beyond what we expected. These guys really care about the people they protect and their own reputation and as far as I am concerned I couldn't recommend them highly enough. I am now looking to employ them in my personal business so hopefully that tells you all you need to know.”
“The service has been outstanding. It was a excellent collective decision to appoint My Local Bobby and I think the results of no crime on the road have vindicated this. In my 20 years of being a resident, I have never felt safer and the road is at last a beautiful residential road again. The bobbies are great and there is a fantastic element of a personal relationship with them all. So thanks for the great service and look forward to many more years of peace on our road.”
“We see the Bobbies from MLB patrolling the streets of Belgravia every day in their distinctive uniforms. It’s like having an old-fashioned Bobby on the Beat again, knowing you can rely on them to attend quickly. The streets feel safe again.”
“I live in Belgravia and was robbed in the early hours whilst returning home. The police were unable to attend. I called the team from My Local Bobby and within hours a highly experienced detective attended and commenced an investigation. Additional high visibility patrols were put in to support me. I cannot praise their response and efforts enough.”
"A great outfit - in terms of technical knowledge, bespoke service, efficiency and, especially, the staff with their subtle understanding of the human's need for protection. They made me feel very safe. In my book: 10 out of 10."
MLB in the newsEvening Standard
A drizzly night in Belgravia and the streets are deserted. A cab pulls up before Eaton Square’s stuccoed columns. The passenger in the back is metres from her front door — but drenched in De Beers and toting a £10,000 handbag, she doesn’t feel safe walking the distance alone. Thankfully she and her neighbours have their own immaculately turned-out private ‘policeman’ on speed dial to escort them safely home, an ex-copper or soldier who keeps an eye on their properties all day and who, should an ‘incident’ occur, has the power to arrest the perpetrator and launch his or her own investigation.
The country’s first ‘private police force’ is investigating hundreds of crimes that regular officers are too busy to look at. A firm led by former Scotland Yard senior officers has successfully prosecuted more than 400 criminals and is now carrying out murder inquiries. TM Eye, which has a 100 per cent conviction rate, is thought to bring more private prosecutions than any organisation besides the RSPCA. The company, the country’s first de-facto private police force, is operating against a backdrop of rising crime rates and police budget cuts.

FAQ
Common questions and answers
Can the ‘Bobbies’ arrest people?
Any person can arrest a person committing an indictable offence or who has committed an indictable offence (The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Section 24A as amended by The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005). The ‘Bobbies’ have training and experience to enable them to gather evidence and where required detain a suspect who has or is committing a crime.
If I am a victim of crime how can MLB assist?
Your local ‘Bobby’ will attend immediately to ensure your safety and security. They will secure exhibits and forensics for police. Where required an experienced career detective from TM Eye will be allocated and attend to carry out a thorough investigation in support of the police and will manage the interaction with police to ensure every investigative opportunity is followed up.
Can MLB prosecute offenders?
Yes. MLB is supported by TM Eye, the UK’s most successful private prosecutor. TM Eye detectives will gather evidence and build a criminal case. Where the police or CPS will not proceed and evidence exists that ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ and it is in the public interest, TM Eye will prosecute on behalf of the client in the criminal court.
How will I contact my ‘Bobby’ if needed?
All ‘Bobbies’ are tracked in live time. A client can see where they are at all times. All clients have a direct mobile number that will be answered immediately by their local Bobby. Clients can use FaceTime, text or WhatsApp to ‘chat’ or pass information. MLB management monitor all communication and will supervise and respond where necessary. MLB use twitter, Facebook, Instagram and their web site to pass information to clients and the local residents.

The team
David McKelveyFounder
David retired from The Metropolitan Police Service as a Detective Chief Inspector in 2008 where he became one of the most effective detectives in dismantling organised crime networks. He formed TM-Eye, the parent company to MLB, to investigate the supply of counterfeit goods and undertake private criminal prosecutions. TM-Eye is now the most effective and respected private organisation in this field and has teams focusing globally on luxury goods, tobacco, pharmaceuticals and design rights along with high value frauds. This is supported by covert experts and a new office being established in India. To date over 400 private prosecutions have been undertaken with a 100% conviction rate. David saw TM-Eye as the “catch’ and ‘convict’ arm of the organisation and had the vision to form MLB as the front end to ‘prevent’ and ‘deter’ crime and anti social behaviour. David continually advises high-profile clients and organisations from the worlds of commerce and media on matters of corporate and private security / investigation.
