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
Nuisance vehicles (e-scooters and motorbikes). Issued 03 February 2026	Kent Police have taken a proactive approach to tackling nuisance vehicles, with targeted enforcement focused on the illegal and antisocial use of e‑bikes and e‑scooters. During a two‑day operation, officers used a mix of specialist resources, including a police drone, plain‑clothed officers and uniformed patrols, to identify and deal with offenders quickly and safely. As a result, 20 illegal e‑scooters were seized, helping to reduce reports and improve community confidence. We will continue to carry out intelligence‑led operations and work with partners to reduce nuisance vehicle use across the area. Actioned 01 April 2026
Drug dealing. Issued 03 February 2026	Kent Police have been tackling drug use in the area through routine high‑visibility patrols in known hotspot locations. Officers have also carried out stop searches under Section 23 of the Misuse of Drugs Act, where there are legal grounds to do so. Actioned 01 April 2026
Antisocial behaviour. Issued 03 February 2026	Kent Police have taken a proactive approach to tackling anti‑social behaviour. We have increased high‑visibility patrols at peak times to reassure local businesses and the wider community, alongside plain‑clothed patrols to help identify issues that may not be immediately visible. All reports of antisocial behaviour are followed up, including reviewing closed‑circuit television (CCTV) footage and sharing images with our Child‑Centred Policing Team, who work closely with schools. This helps ensure young people are spoken to quickly and appropriately, with parents involved where needed. Through this combined approach, we continue to prevent, deter and deal with anti‑social behaviour effectively. Actioned 01 April 2026
