🚔 Disrupting Drug Dealing in Chatham & Brompton 🚔

I wanted to provide you with an update regarding Drug dealing, which people around your area have highlighted as an issue of concern on the priority survey.

The Chatham Beat Team continues to work proactively across Chatham and Brompton to tackle drug dealing and the anti-social behaviour that often accompanies it.

Through regular patrols, intelligence-led operations, warrants, stop searches, and partnership working, officers are targeting those involved in the supply of illegal drugs and disrupting the activity that has a negative impact on our communities.

Drug dealing does not just affect those involved. It can lead to exploitation of vulnerable people, violence, theft, anti-social behaviour, and the use of addresses by offenders to facilitate criminality. Safeguarding vulnerable adults and children remains a priority, and officers work closely with partner agencies to identify and support those at risk of harm or exploitation.

👮‍♂️ How you can help We rely on information from the public to help build intelligence and take action against offenders. If you have concerns about drug dealing or suspect criminal activity in your area, please report it.

📞 Call 101 for non-emergency matters.

🚨 If a crime is in progress or there is an immediate risk to life, always call 999.

💻 Report information online via the Kent Police website: https://www.kent.police.uk

🕵️‍♂️ Alternatively, information can be passed anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or online at: https://crimestoppers-uk.org

Together, we can make Chatham and Brompton safer places to live, work and visit.

The illicit drugs market is big business, worth an estimated £9.4 billion a year and drug deaths have reached an all-time. Taking the health harms, costs of crime and wider impacts on society together, it is estimated the total costs of drugs to society are over £19 billion, which is more than twice the value of the market itself.

If you are adversely affected by antisocial behaviour in your community associated with drug use, The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 outlines the flexible tools and powers that the police, local authorities and other local agencies can use to respond quickly and effectively to antisocial behaviour.

If you ever experience this issue or have information regarding an incident, please report it using our online reporting tools at https://www.kent.police.uk, speak to an operator in our Force Communications Room via our online web chat or call the non-emergency number 101.

Alternatively, you can stay 100 per cent anonymous by contacting the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their untraceable online form at crimestoppers-uk.org.
