Wincheap

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 have been carrying out regular high-visibility patrols in locations where road safety concerns have been raised by local residents. These patrols provide a visible police presence, allow officers to monitor driver behaviour and traffic issues, and create opportunities to engage with motorists about safe and responsible driving. Officers also use patrols to identify offences and take appropriate action where necessary. Improving road safety remains a priority, and this ongoing activity is designed to encourage safer driving, deter dangerous road use and help ensure that concerns raised by the community are addressed. Actioned 30 September 2026
Drug dealing. Issued 20 July 2026	In August, officers arrested 2 people on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs. Possession with intent to supply means someone is suspected of holding illegal drugs with the intention of selling or distributing them to others. Suspected controlled drugs were seized during the investigation, which remains ongoing. Tackling drug-related crime continues to be a priority, and officers are carrying out targeted activity in areas where concerns about drug supply have been raised. This includes gathering information, conducting patrols and taking enforcement action where offences are identified. We encourage anyone with information about suspected drug dealing or drug-related crime to report it to Kent Police. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crimestoppers.
