Priory

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

Nuisance vehicles.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have carried out both high-visibility and plain-clothed patrols in identified hotspot locations to deter offending, gather intelligence, and identify those responsible. Action has been taken where offences have been identified, including the seizure of vehicles and enforcement against offenders. Officers continue to engage with local residents and partner agencies to develop intelligence, identify repeat offenders, and explore long-term solutions aimed at reducing nuisance vehicle activity.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Road safety.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have carried out targeted patrols and enforcement activity in locations highlighted by residents, providing both reassurance and an opportunity to address offences when identified. We continue to work alongside partner agencies and local stakeholders to better understand local concerns, promote safer driving, and identify opportunities for future road safety initiatives that support all road users.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Antisocial behaviour nuisance youths.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have undertaken proactive high-visibility patrols during peak times, engaged with businesses and members of the public, and reviewed available CCTV opportunities to identify those responsible. Where individuals have been identified, appropriate action has been taken to address their behaviour and prevent further incidents. This activity continues to provide reassurance to the community while supporting a longer-term problem-solving approach designed to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve the quality of life for those who live, work, and visit the area.
