Murston

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.

  • in an emergency, call 999

  • call 101 for non-emergency enquiries

Fly tipping.

Issued 03 February 2026

We have contacted the local council, which is the lead agency responsible for waste‑related enforcement and removal. We are working closely with them to make sure the report is properly logged, investigated and cleared in the appropriate way.

Actioned 17 March 2026

E-scooters/e-bikes.

Issued 03 February 2026

Your Neighbourhood Policing Team has continued targeted patrols and taken firm action where offences have been identified. Several off‑road bikes have been seized as a result of this work.

Where seized bikes have been linked to housing association properties, we have worked jointly with the relevant Housing Association. They are now taking action under their own powers, as the use of these bikes is considered a breach of tenancy.

Actioned 17 March 2026

Drug dealing

Issued 03 February 2026

Proactive policing remains a priority. Officers have been carrying out targeted patrols and conducting stop‑and‑searches in locations highlighted through community intelligence. These stop‑searches have led to several arrests linked to drug‑related activity, showing our continued commitment to tackling illegal drug supply and keeping the community safe.

Actioned 17 March 2026
