Princes
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.
Report crime
Please do not contact neighbourhood officers to report crime.

Officers have carried out targeted patrols in areas where nuisance antisocial behaviour has been reported, using information provided by local residents and the wider community to focus activity where it is most needed.

Officers will continue to work with the community, gather information and carry out patrols to address concerns and improve neighbourhood safety. Actioned 30 September 2026 |

Drug dealing. Issued 15 July 2026 |
Officers have taken action to address concerns about drug dealing and the antisocial behaviour linked to it. Working with partner organisations, the Neighbourhood Policing Team secured an extension to a Closure Order at a problem property, giving the housing association additional time to take further action. A Closure Order is a legal measure that can restrict access to a property that is being used for serious nuisance, antisocial behaviour or criminal activity. This action helped protect local residents and reduce the impact of ongoing issues within the community. Actioned 30 September 2026 |

Road safety. Issued 15 July 2026 |
Following concerns about speeding in the area, officers carried out targeted speed enforcement operations in locations identified as problem areas.

Officers have also conducted regular patrols in the area to deter unsafe driving, respond to residents' concerns and help improve road safety for everyone using the roads. Actioned 30 September 2026 |
