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 Parsons and PC Lawford continue to take action against antisocial behaviour across the area. Supported by the Neighbourhood Task Force, they carry out targeted patrols in hotspot locations and use dispersal powers to address behaviour that is causing harassment, alarm or distress within the community. Officers also use Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices to tackle persistent antisocial behaviour. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning, while a Community Protection Notice is a legal notice that can lead to further enforcement action if the behaviour continues. Positive action has been taken against those who breach these notices, including Fixed Penalty Notices and court proceedings for repeat offenders. The Public Spaces Protection Order has also enabled officers to seize alcohol and issue penalties where restrictions are breached. In response to increased reports of antisocial e-scooter and e-bike use, a number of vehicles have been seized and enforcement activity will continue. Residents are encouraged to report concerns through local community meetings or My Community Voice, helping officers target patrols and take action where it is needed most. Actioned 30 September 2026
