Whitfield
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.
Report crime
Please do not contact neighbourhood officers to report crime.
If it's not an emergency, the easiest way to contact us is online. Your report will be sent direct to our control room where it will be reviewed by the same team who answer our calls.

Local Priority Issues
| Priority | Action taken |

Dog fouling. Issued 14 April 2026 |
Dover District Council is the main organisation responsible for enforcing dog fouling. During our patrols, if officers see someone not cleaning up after their dog, they will speak to them and take their details. However, any formal action, such as issuing fines, is the responsibility of Dover District Council. Actioned 10 June 2026 |

Road safety issues. Issued 14 April 2026 |
We have carried out proactive work to improve road safety, including working with local volunteer Speedwatch groups who help monitor vehicle speeds and encourage safer driving. We plan to continue working alongside them in the future. We have also carried out targeted patrols to tackle nuisance motorcycles and antisocial behaviour, which has resulted in 3 people being arrested and charged. Actioned 10 June 2026 |

Nuisance motorcyclists. Issued 14 April 2026 |
Three people have been arrested in connection with stolen motorcycles, and enquiries are ongoing. Several bikes have been recovered or identified as stolen through proactive patrols and information from the community. Increased high-visibility patrols have also helped to reduce nuisance riding in areas where problems had been reported. Actioned 10 June 2026 |
