Burnham

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

Fly tipping. Issued 16 April 2026	We are working with Dartford Borough Council to identify areas at risk of waste crime and how they can be better protected. Through this ongoing work, vehicles linked to offences have been identified and action has been taken to prosecute those responsible. Actioned 16 June 2026
E-scooters/e-bikes. Issued 16 April 2026	Officers are supporting Dartford Borough Council to enforce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO). A PSPO is a legal order that helps prevent antisocial behaviour in public areas. Officers have stopped and seized illegal e-scooters, e-bikes and e-motorbikes where possible. Kent Police also took part in a recent national day of action to tackle the unsafe and unlawful use of these vehicles. Actioned 16 June 2026
Noise disturbance. Issued 16 April 2026	We are tackling the antisocial use of motorbikes, mainly off-road bikes, through targeted patrols. Stopping riders can be challenging, as many do not stop when required. However, when they are stopped, officers take action where offences are identified, and work continues to address this issue.
