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.

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 carried out high-visibility patrols in locations where issues have been reported.

Farming equipment thefts. Issued 20 July 2026	Officers have been working with specialist rural policing teams to help prevent the theft of farming equipment. This includes property marking, which helps identify equipment and can increase the chances of it being returned if recovered after a theft. Farmers are also being supported to fit tracking devices to valuable equipment so it can be located more easily if stolen.
