“My daughter was followed home at night by a couple of creeps in a van. She rang the BCC & the guys met her at the 7/11 in Martin Street, Brighton. They safely escorted her home. Forever Grateful."

How it works
Getting started is simple
Choose Your Membership
Select the BCC membership that suits your household, whether you want full overnight patrol coverage, nominated patrol nights, or direct phone access to the patrol team.
Sign Up and Get Added
Once you sign up, your property is added to our patrol scheduling system and database so coverage can begin straight away.
Patrols Begin That Night
Your selected service starts the same night you join. Patrol units begin operating in your area during active patrol hours, and you receive direct contact access for extra peace of mind.
From the moment you join, your home becomes part of the BCC patrol network. With trained security professionals operating nearby overnight, your property becomes a harder target and your household gains added peace of mind.
Why Residents Join BCC
A visible security presence that deters crime
Most property crime occurs during late-night hours when streets are quiet. BCC patrol units operate throughout the night, maintaining a visible presence and conducting scheduled patrol checks across local streets. The goal is simple: help make homes within the BCC community a harder target.
Visible patrol presence deterring criminal activity
Members receive a private number that connects directly to patrol units.
Protection for vehicles in driveways and on streets
Security coverage during peak crime hours
Peace of mind with professionals patrolling nearby
Local patrol coverage across Bayside suburbs
Active patrol security, not passive monitoring
Steering Wheel Locks
Add another layer of protection for your vehicle
Vehicle theft is often opportunistic. A visible physical security device can make your vehicle a much harder target.
We supply high-quality Milenco steering wheel locks designed to provide a strong physical deterrent. Built from hardened steel with a high-security locking mechanism, they are significantly stronger than many cheaper locks on the market.
When a criminal sees a solid steering wheel lock installed, they are far more likely to move on.
Key Features:
Hardened steel construction resistant to cutting and tampering
High-security lock barrel designed to resist picking and drilling
Firm fit with minimal movement once installed
Quick installation and removal in seconds
Universal fit for most vehicles
Product Details:
Brand: Milenco
Lock length: 54.5 cm
Designed for most standard steering wheels
