Blean Forest

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.

Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 20 July 2026

We have received reports of nuisance motorbike activity in the area and understand the impact this behaviour can have on local residents.

In response, officers have been carrying out high-visibility patrols in locations where concerns have been raised. These patrols help deter antisocial behaviour, provide reassurance to the community and enable officers to identify those responsible.

Officers are also working to gather information about where the motorcycles are being stored and used so that appropriate enforcement action can be taken. This may include seizing vehicles that are being used illegally or in an antisocial manner.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers regularly carry out speed checks in locations where concerns about speeding have been raised. They also work closely with Community Speedwatch volunteers to identify areas where speeding is most frequently reported and to help target enforcement activity.

Information provided by residents and Community Speedwatch groups helps officers focus resources where they are needed most. We will continue to monitor concerns and take action to improve road safety across the area.

Actioned 30 September 2026

E-scooters/E-bikes.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers are aware of concerns about the use of e-scooters and e-bikes in the area and have been carrying out high-visibility patrols in locations where issues have been reported.

Patrols help officers engage with riders, provide advice about the law and take action where offences are identified. We will continue to monitor concerns raised by residents and carry out targeted activity to improve safety within the community.
