Truck yard and farm security in Chatham-Kent

Local and live

Sixty kilometres of the 401, and the Bloomfield Business Park

Highway 401 runs about 60 kilometres through Chatham-Kent, giving the municipality seven points of entry to the United States within an hour and direct access to Detroit among three major border crossings nearby. CN, CP and CSX rail lines also cross the area. The Bloomfield Business Park, near the 401, is zoned for trucking and freight companies, food processors, manufacturers and warehousing, and the surrounding farmland makes Chatham-Kent one of Canada's largest producers of seed corn, tomatoes and sugar beets.

That mix of farm equipment, plants and trucking yards is a steady draw for thieves. On August 18, 2026, Chatham-Kent Police responded to an attempted theft of a 24-foot flatbed trailer from a business on Grand Avenue East in Chatham; two people were arrested, and a Yamaha Kodiak ATV found in their pickup truck turned out to be stolen in a separate theft. A trailer, a piece of farm equipment or a truck parked on a rural property is often unwatched for hours at a stretch.

Sigma covers a Chatham-Kent trucking yard, plant or farm operation whether it sits beside the 401 or out on a township road. AI person and vehicle detection flags anyone approaching a trailer or piece of equipment after hours, and a live agent checks the camera, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers and calls Chatham-Kent Police if the person doesn't leave. Yard checks add parking reports and damage inspections for trucks and trailers on the lot.
