St Radigunds

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
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance. Issued 14 April 2026	We have carried out targeted patrols in response to concerns about antisocial behaviour in the area. These have included both marked and unmarked vehicle patrols, as well as increased foot patrols to provide a visible police presence, speak with the community and help prevent further incidents. During these patrols, officers have also spoken with people involved and, where appropriate, offered advice to help change behaviour and stop issues from getting worse. We will continue to monitor the situation and take action where needed. Actioned 10 June 2026
Drug dealing. Issued 14 April 2026	We have carried out targeted work to tackle drug dealing and drug use in the area, acting on information provided by the community. This has included a mix of high-visibility and plain clothes patrols, both on foot and in vehicles, to identify and disrupt this activity. Officers have used stop and search powers across the area, leading to several arrests of people linked to drug supply. We have also gathered further information to support ongoing investigations and continue to work closely with partner organisations to address this issue and keep our communities safe. With support from residents, we are identifying new and emerging hotspot areas and will focus our work where it is most needed. Actioned 10 June 2026
