Sturry

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
Road safety issues. Issued 20 July 2026	Your local policing team regularly carries out speed checks and works closely with Community Speedwatch volunteers to identify locations where speeding is reported. Information provided by residents and Community Speedwatch groups helps officers target enforcement activity in areas of greatest concern. Where drivers are found exceeding the speed limit, officers may take enforcement action or provide road safety education to encourage safer driving. We will continue to monitor concerns, carry out speed enforcement activity and work with local communities to improve road safety for all road users. Actioned 30 September 2026
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance. Issued 20 July 2026	There have been reports of young people performing dangerous manoeuvres, including wheelies, on roads in the area. This behaviour can create a risk to both those involved and other road users. In response, officers have carried out targeted patrols in locations where concerns have been raised. These patrols provide opportunities to engage with those involved, offer road safety advice and take action where offences are identified. We will continue to monitor reports and carry out patrols in hotspot locations to help improve safety and address concerns raised by the community. Actioned 30 September 2026
Drug taking. Issued 20 July 2026	Reports of suspected drug-related activity have been received in the area, and officers have carried out high-visibility patrols in locations where concerns have been raised. While no drug offences were identified during patrols over the summer, officers continue to review information provided by residents and assess when and where activity is most likely to take place. This helps ensure patrols and enforcement activity are targeted as effectively as possible. Tackling drug-related crime remains a priority, and officers will continue to gather intelligence, monitor reports and carry out proactive patrols to identify those involved and take appropriate action where offences are identified.
