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

Drug use.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers have carried out targeted patrols in areas where antisocial behaviour has been reported to help prevent offending and identify those responsible. This activity has led to action being taken against people found in possession of nitrous oxide canisters. In some cases, out-of-court disposals have been used, which are measures that allow offences to be dealt with without going to court while still holding individuals accountable for their actions.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Parking / road obstructions.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers continue to respond to reports of vehicles blocking driveways and footpaths, speaking with drivers and providing advice to help prevent future problems. Work is also ongoing to address parking concerns outside local schools, with patrols and engagement activity taking place to encourage safer and more considerate parking behaviour around busy drop-off and pick-up times.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Antisocial behaviour.

Issued 15 July 2026

This issue has been linked to reports of drug-related activity, and officers have carried out targeted patrols in locations where concerns have been raised. These patrols aim to deter antisocial behaviour, identify those responsible and provide reassurance to local residents. Officers also continue to patrol the Fleet Estate in response to reports of nuisance bikes and young people using catapults, working to prevent further incidents and improve community safety.
