Viking

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.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 15 July 2026

PC Taylor has continued to tackle antisocial behaviour in the Viking Bay area through high-visibility patrols and targeted enforcement activity. Working with partner agencies and local colleagues, he has taken action to address concerns raised by residents, businesses and visitors.

Where necessary, dispersal powers have been used to direct people to leave an area when their behaviour is causing, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress. Officers have also seized alcohol where appropriate to help prevent alcohol-related nuisance and disorder. This proactive approach has helped improve safety and reduce antisocial behaviour in the area, with residents reporting that Viking Bay feels safer and more welcoming. PC Taylor remains committed to maintaining this progress and responding to concerns raised by the community.
