Drug taking.

Issued 03 February 2026

PCs Lawford and Parsons have been building intelligence on the drug networks operating in Ramsgate, while carrying out high‑visibility patrols in areas highlighted as problem locations by Eastcliff residents. Where grounds exist, patrolling officers have been conducting stop‑and‑searches, which have led to arrests for possession with intent to supply and simple possession of drugs.

Drug dealing and drug use in Ramsgate are being dealt with robustly, and our understanding of local drug networks continues to grow as we work to shut down drug lines.

Please continue to tell PC Lawford and PC Parsons about anything that concerns you by attending their ward surgeries or contacting them on My Community Voice. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up by visiting www.mycommunityvoicekent.co.uk.

Violence against women and girls.

Issued 03 February 2026

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a serious issue nationally, and Eastcliff, as the main night‑time area in Ramsgate, is a key focus for this work. Keeping women and girls safe is one of Kent Police’s main priorities. In Eastcliff, this includes a range of actions to increase safety and visibility.

PC Lawford and PC Parsons spend time patrolling the busy night‑time areas where concerns have been raised. They often patrol on foot, wearing bright and easily identifiable uniforms, and they are deployed at the times when they are most needed. This visibility helps deter offending, supports victims and reassures those enjoying the night‑time economy.

Please continue to share any concerns with PC Lawford and PC Parsons by attending their ward surgeries or by contacting them on My Community Voice. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up by visiting www.mycommunityvoicekent.co.uk.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 03 February 2026

Local officers know that there have been reports of antisocial behaviour (ASB) across Ramsgate. They are working hard to deal with these problems and reduce them in the area.

In the town centre, where most reports happen, PC Lawford and PC Parsons have given Community Protection Notices to people who have been causing repeated problems. These notices warn them to stop their behaviour.

When young people are involved, local officers work to find out who they are. They then ask the Child‑Centred Policing Team to speak with the young people and their families. The aim is to teach them about the impact of their actions and to stop the behaviour from happening again.

Please keep telling PC Lawford and PC Parsons about anything that concerns you by attending his ward surgeries or contacting him on My Community Voice. If you don’t have an account, you can sign up by visiting www.mycommunityvoicekent.co.uk.
