Bybrook

Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is made up of Kent Police beat officers who are dedicated to keeping your community safe. They focus on preventing crime and antisocial behaviour, responding to local concerns, and building strong relationships with residents, community groups and local businesses.

Our officers will:

  • patrol to deter crime and reassure the public

  • hold regular engagement activities in the area, including attending community meetings to share advice and listen to concerns

  • work with partner agencies including councils, schools, charities, and local groups

  • tackle issues like antisocial behaviour, repeat offending, and vulnerability

  • build trust by being visible, approachable, and responsive

Neighbourhood policing is a key part of Kent Police’s commitment to being community-focused, visible, and responsive.

Report crime

Please do not contact neighbourhood officers to report crime.

  • in an emergency, call 999

  • call 101 for non-emergency enquiries

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 14 April 2026

This is a priority for the next 3 months. We have identified this based on feedback from local residents, crime data, and ongoing concerns in the area.

We’ll publish an update in the coming months to let you know what we’ve done, what progress has been made, and what’s next.

Actioned 14 April 2026

Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 03 February 2026

Officers have been carrying out high‑visibility patrols in hotspot areas where antisocial behaviour has been reported. A joint visit has also taken place with partner agencies to target repeat offenders.

One illegal bike was seized, and the rider was reported for driving offences.

In a separate incident, another rider was given a Section 59 warning due to antisocial behaviour. A Section 59 warning is issued when a vehicle is being used in a way that causes alarm, distress or annoyance to the public. If the rider or the bike is seen causing antisocial behaviour again, police have the power to seize the bike.

Actioned 23 March 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 03 February 2026

A vehicle was seized after it was found unattended and parked on the road without valid tax.

Officers have also stopped and checked a number of vehicles believed to be linked to drug‑related activity. Several vehicles were seized for having no insurance, and a number of drivers were reported for a range of driving offences.

Patrols are continuing to focus on hotspot locations identified by residents.

Actioned 23 March 2026

Antisocial behaviour (ASB) - general.

Issued 03 February 2026

Acceptable Behaviour Agreements were issued to children identified as being involved in local disorder. These agreements have had a positive impact and have helped reduce incidents of antisocial behaviour. An Acceptable Behaviour Agreement sets clear expectations about behaviour and supports young people and their families to make positive changes.

Close joint working with partner agencies has further supported this reduction, helping to ensure a coordinated and effective approach across the district.

In addition, targeted activity at addresses linked to antisocial behaviour has identified drug dealing activity in the Repton and Goat Lees areas. This work has led to several arrests for offences including obstructing police and possession of an offensive weapon. These actions have disrupted criminal activity and helped improve community safety.

We continue to work closely with relevant housing associations to achieve a lasting, long‑term reduction in antisocial behaviour.
