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 caused by youths. Issued 21 April 2026	Officers continue to work proactively to address antisocial behaviour involving young people in the area. A number of Acceptable Behaviour Agreements (ABAs) and Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) have been issued to those identified as being involved in antisocial behaviour and other community-related issues. An ABA is a voluntary agreement between a young person, their parent or guardian and the police that sets out expected standards of behaviour. A CPW is a formal warning used to address behaviour that is having a negative impact on the community. Follow-up visits are regularly carried out with parents and guardians to reinforce the conditions of these measures, provide support where needed and help ensure continued compliance. This early intervention approach aims to prevent further incidents, reduce repeat offending and improve the quality of life for local residents. Actioned 03 July 2026
Drug and alcohol use. Issued 21 April 2026	Kent Police is working with Gravesham Borough Council to explore the introduction of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO), similar to the one already in place within Gravesend town centre. A PSPO is a legal order used to address antisocial behaviour in public places and can provide additional powers to seize alcohol and issue fixed penalty notices where appropriate. In the meantime, officers continue to carry out proactive patrols and engage with individuals consuming alcohol in public spaces. Stop and search powers are also used where lawful grounds exist to tackle drug-related activity. A stop and search is a legal power that allows officers to search people for items linked to criminal activity, including illegal drugs. We will continue to work with partner agencies and carry out proactive enforcement activity to address drug and alcohol-related issues, reduce antisocial behaviour and help keep the community safe. Actioned 03 July 2026
Nuisance and off-road bikes. Issued 21 April 2026	Officers have carried out a number of targeted operations to tackle the illegal use of off-road bikes, e-scooters and e-bikes. A significant number of vehicles have been seized, with some subsequently destroyed where appropriate. These operations have helped reduce nuisance vehicle activity and improve safety for local residents. Kent Police has also worked closely with Gravesham Borough Council to introduce measures designed to make affected areas less accessible to nuisance riders. This includes the installation of bike access control gates in the Kings Farm area, including Gloucester Road, Ash Road and Christianfields Avenue. These measures help restrict vehicle access across green spaces, disrupt known gathering points and reduce opportunities for antisocial behaviour. Officers will continue to carry out targeted patrols and enforcement activity, working with partner agencies to identify offenders and reduce the impact of nuisance vehicles on the community.
