Change of ward officer

Hello all,

I’m pleased to introduce myself as your new Ward Officer, covering Thanet Villages and Cliffsend & Pegwell. I’m taking over from PC Andy Howe who has been in place for a couple of years now, and have taken a detailed handover from him so that I can hit the ground running!

Although new to these wards I’m not new to Kent Police, having served for six years now in a variety of roles around Thanet, most recently as the Broadstairs officer. I have been reviewing police systems and past community feedback to identify common issues experienced across my wards and will keep you updated with my plans to tackle these. I have a particular interest in roads policing and tackling vehicle-related crime, which I hope will come in useful for dealing with the various road traffic issues that feature heavily among residents’ reports.

As with PC Howe, some of my most successful jobs have come because of information received from members of the public so please do feel free to contact me with any concerns or issues. My wards cover a large area but I will do my best to offer equal patrolling coverage to all the villages, so feel free to stop me for a chat. Alternatively, my email address is below or you can submit information to me through My Community Voice (MCV). I will publish regular updates on MCV for those who don’t manage to see me out and about, and will continue to collate police reports to send to the respective parish councils. 

Finally, I have had to change the published police surgery dates/times just because I work on the opposite shift pattern to my predecessor, so please see attached list of new dates. I’ve tried to include a mix of times and locations in the hope of being able to see as many of you as possible. 

Warm regards,

PC Crush
