Maidstone Town Centre Safer Business Action Week

Maidstone Town Centre Safer Business Action Week

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

Today, your local Town Centre Officers are out on joint patrol with One Maidstone and Maidstone Borough Council as part of Safer Business Action Week.

Throughout the week, you will see officers and partner agencies engaging with businesses across Maidstone town centre, listening to their concerns, gathering feedback, and identifying issues that matter most to them so that we can work together to tackle them.

Did you know that Kent Police's Neighbourhood Policing Team works closely alongside a wide range of partner agencies? These strong partnerships help us address local issues more effectively and provide a coordinated response to concerns affecting our communities.

Did you also know that your Town Centre Officers carry the One Maidstone MaidSafe radio? This provides a direct link between police and town centre businesses, allowing us to respond quickly to incidents and concerns raised by local businesses, alongside our response to 999 calls.

Working together, we can help keep Maidstone a safe and welcoming place to live, work, and visit.
