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.

Drug taking. Issued 03 February 2026	We have carried out plain‑clothes patrols in areas identified as hotspots for drug‑related activity.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance. Issued 03 February 2026	We have carried out targeted patrols in areas affected by nuisance‑related antisocial behaviour. Officers spoke with those involved to give advice and explain what behaviour is expected. We also spoke with local residents to gather further information, monitored locations where repeat issues have been reported, and submitted relevant intelligence to support problem‑solving work. Where appropriate, officers worked with partner agencies, such as housing providers, to address underlying issues and ensure a coordinated response. Actioned 23 March 2026
Road safety. Issued 03 February 2026	We carried out targeted, high‑visibility patrols in areas where concerns were raised and completed speed checks using a handheld device. Where necessary, drivers were given warnings or reported for offences. Officers also provided advice and education to drivers whose behaviour fell below the expected standard. Alongside this activity, officers spoke with local residents to offer reassurance. Ongoing concerns raised by the community have been shared with Kent County Council Highways so they can consider longer‑term solutions, such as improved signage or traffic‑calming measures.
