Singlewell

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 and off-road bikes. Issued 03 February 2026	Officers are working with Gravesham Borough Council to develop a Public Space Protection Order for the area. This would give police additional powers to fine and deal with riders of nuisance and off‑road bikes. The proposal is currently in the public consultation stage.

Drug and alcohol use. Issued 03 February 2026	Officers have worked with the Kent Police Licensing Team to visit licensed premises and check that licensing conditions are being met. Joint operations have also been carried out to target alcohol and drug use linked to the night‑time economy.

Antisocial behaviour caused by youths. Issued 03 February 2026	Reports of nuisance youth behaviour have been followed up with closed‑circuit television enquiries to help identify those involved. Where young people could not be identified through local knowledge, officers worked with the Child‑Centred Policing Team to visit local schools and make staff aware. Officers have also visited home addresses to speak with parents and, where appropriate, issued Community Protection Warnings and put Acceptable Behaviour Agreements in place.
