Stone Castle

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.

Issued 08 October 2026

Actioned 08 October 2026

Drug use.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers have carried out ongoing patrols in areas where concerns about drug use have been raised. This activity has resulted in several people being dealt with for drug possession through out-of-court disposals, which are measures that allow offences to be dealt with without going to court while still holding individuals accountable for their actions. Officers have also brought charges against individuals for more serious offences, including possession with intent to supply drugs, where there is evidence that drugs were intended to be sold or distributed. Patrols and enforcement activity continue to help deter offending, identify those involved in criminal activity and improve community safety.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Parking.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers have carried out targeted patrols in response to concerns about unsafe and inconsiderate parking. During these patrols, officers have spoken with drivers whose vehicles were parked in positions that could create risks or cause obstruction, providing advice and encouraging safer parking. Officers are also working with the local council on measures to improve the situation, including the introduction of additional signs and road markings. The issue continues to be monitored so that concerns can be reviewed, patterns identified and appropriate action taken where needed.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Antisocial behaviour.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers worked with partner organisations to address antisocial behaviour linked to a caravan that was causing concern within the local area. This included engagement with those involved, joint working with relevant agencies and the issuing of a Community Protection Warning. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning given to someone whose behaviour is having a negative impact on the local community and may lead to further action if the behaviour continues. Since these measures were put in place, no further reports of antisocial behaviour linked to this issue have been received.

Actioned 30 September 2026
