Sheppey Central

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

Priority Action taken

E-bikes/e-scooters.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have carried out targeted patrols, responded to reports, obtained and reviewed footage where available, and conducted searches for vehicles linked to antisocial behaviour. Positive action has been taken where opportunities have arisen, including the seizure of nuisance vehicles and the development of new reporting methods to make it easier for residents to provide evidence directly to officers. Officers have also used community messaging platforms to share crime prevention advice and encourage reporting. This ongoing enforcement and engagement work helps identify offenders, remove nuisance vehicles from the roads, and improve the information available to support future action.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Antisocial behaviour.

Issued 21 July 2026

Beat Officers, the Neighbourhood Task Force and PCSOs have maintained a visible presence through high-visibility patrols, community engagement events, and targeted activity in hotspot locations. Officers have continued to follow up reports received from members of the public, providing reassurance, obtaining additional information and reviewing CCTV opportunities to help identify those responsible for antisocial behaviour.

Alongside this, proactive operations targeting local concerns have continued, with further activity planned as seasonal demand reduces and additional resources become available. We remain committed to working with residents and partner agencies to tackle antisocial behaviour, address community concerns, and provide long-term solutions to local issues.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Catapults.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have attended reports, carried out enquiries, reviewed available CCTV opportunities, and engaged with those affected to provide reassurance. Where individuals have been identified, positive action has been taken and words of advice provided to help prevent further incidents. Officers have also worked with residents to gather information and encourage reporting, ensuring that concerns can be investigated promptly. This proactive approach has helped address incidents quickly, identify those involved where possible, and reinforce the message that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated within the community.
