Beltinge

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.

Antisocial behaviour - general.

Issued 03 February 2026

PC Roy continues to carry out regular patrols in identified hotspot areas and is engaging with individuals involved in antisocial behaviour.

Work is also ongoing at a specific address that has been linked to repeated antisocial behaviour. Action is being taken to address the issues and protect nearby residents, including steps towards applying for a Closure Order. This would allow the property to be closed for a fixed period to prevent further incidents and reduce harm in the area.

Information from residents remains important in helping us take proportionate action and keep the community safe.

Actioned 25 March 2026

Catapults.

Issued 03 February 2026

Officers proactively stopped an individual who was found carrying a metal catapult in a public place. The individual was searched, the catapult was seized, and further action was taken in relation to other offences identified.

PC Roy is continuing to raise awareness about the law around carrying catapults and is speaking with people while on patrol to explain what is and is not legal. This work helps prevent harm and ensures the public understand their responsibilities.

Information from the community remains important in helping us identify and address issues early.

Actioned 25 March 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 03 February 2026

We are responding to reports of nuisance off‑road bikes being used in an antisocial and dangerous way. Officers are carrying out patrols, gathering information and working to identify those responsible.

We have also received enquiries about the use of mobility scooters on public roads, including concerns about unsafe or antisocial use. Advice has been given to residents about the different classes of mobility scooters and where they can legally be used.

Information from the community helps us understand where issues are happening and take appropriate action. By continuing to report concerns, you help us tackle problem behaviour and keep the area safe for everyone.
