Folkestone Harbour

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.

Actioned 08 October 2026

Alcohol.

Issued 20 July 2026

Local neighbourhood officers have carried out regular foot patrols in the Harbour area throughout the summer to help reduce alcohol-related issues and provide a visible presence in the community. The summer months are typically a busier time, with more people visiting the area and a greater demand for policing services. Officers have also worked with the local council to carry out licensing checks at pubs, bars and other licensed premises to help ensure they are meeting their legal responsibilities. Regular patrols help to prevent and deter offences often linked to alcohol consumption, such as criminal damage and assaults. Police will continue to work closely with local businesses and partner organisations to help keep the Harbour area safe and welcoming for residents and visitors.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Drug dealing.

Issued 20 July 2026

Local neighbourhood officers regularly patrol the Harbour area to deter drug-related activity and provide a visible presence within the community. As part of this work, officers carry out stop searches where there are reasonable grounds to suspect someone may be carrying illegal drugs. These searches have led to the seizure of drugs, and those found in possession have been dealt with through the appropriate criminal justice processes. Officers will continue to carry out regular patrols and targeted enforcement activity to tackle drug-related offending and help keep the area safe for residents, businesses and visitors.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Antisocial behaviour.

Issued 20 July 2026

Local neighbourhood officers have carried out regular foot patrols in the Harbour area throughout the summer, providing a visible presence and helping to deter crime and antisocial behaviour. The area is particularly busy during the warmer months, with large numbers of residents and visitors enjoying the waterfront and local businesses. High-visibility patrols help officers identify and address issues early, while also providing opportunities to speak with the community and respond to concerns. Police will continue to patrol the area regularly and work closely with local businesses and partner organisations to help keep the Harbour area safe, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone.
