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.

These patrols are aimed at deterring offending, identifying those responsible and responding to community concerns. As part of this work, officers have disrupted illegal vehicle use in the area and moved riders on from locations where they were causing problems or putting others at risk. Officers will continue to patrol known hotspots and take action when offences are identified.

Noise disturbance.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers have carried out targeted patrols in response to reports of noise disturbance, much of which was linked to the use of motorcycles in the area. Working alongside activity to tackle the illegal use of e-bikes and other nuisance vehicles, officers have increased their presence in known hotspots to deter offending and disrupt behaviour that impacts local residents. This has included moving riders on from areas where they were causing problems and providing reassurance to the community through continued patrols.
