Chartham & Stone Street

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.

Road safety issues.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers are aware of concerns about speeding in the area and continue to monitor locations where issues have been reported.

Speed checks have been carried out by Community Speedwatch volunteers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) to help reduce speeding and improve road safety. Information gathered through these checks helps identify problem locations and supports targeted enforcement and education activity where needed.

We will continue to work with local communities and road safety partners to address concerns and encourage safer driving across the area.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 20 July 2026

There have been reports of nuisance motorbike activity in the area. In response, officers have carried out high-visibility patrols in locations where concerns have been raised and are working to identify those responsible.

Patrols and local information help officers understand where the motorcycles are being used and stored, allowing targeted action to be taken against riders who are using them illegally or in an antisocial manner.

We will continue to monitor reports, gather information and take appropriate enforcement action where offences are identified.

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 provide opportunities for officers to speak with riders, offer advice about the law and take action where offences are identified. Privately owned e-scooters cannot currently be used on public roads, cycle lanes or pavements, and those found using them illegally may have their e-scooter seized.

We will continue to monitor reports and carry out targeted activity to help improve safety and reduce nuisance within the community.
