Aylesford & East Stour

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.

Issued 12 October 2026

Actioned 12 October 2026

Antisocial behaviour - general.

Issued 17 July 2026

Officers continue to tackle nuisance motorcycles and antisocial vehicle use through targeted patrols and enforcement activity in identified hotspot locations. Working closely with local residents and partner agencies, officers have seized a Sur-Ron electric bike and several illegal e-bikes following reports from the community.

Intelligence gathered from residents is being used to identify other riders involved in antisocial behaviour and support further enforcement action. Officers also work with housing providers to address antisocial behaviour linked to residential properties. This partnership approach has resulted in action being taken against individuals responsible for ongoing issues, helping to improve community safety and reduce the impact of antisocial behaviour on local residents.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Drug dealing.

Issued 17 July 2026

Officers continue to act on information from residents about suspected drug dealing. This has led to more than 500 cannabis plants being seized from several growing sites and one person being arrested. Officers also patrol reported hotspot areas and use stop and search powers where there are lawful grounds. One person was arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply, which means they were suspected of having illegal drugs to sell or distribute. Information reported through My Community Voice and other channels continues to help officers identify and disrupt drug-related crime.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 17 July 2026

We have been working hard to address your concerns around road safety. We have completed a number of roadside speed checks around your ward. A number of traffic offence reports (TORs) for speeding. In addition, we have been working with Speedwatch to raise awareness about the scheme and will be holding a community event next month - check My Community Voice (MCV) in due course for full details.
