Westcourt

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.

Actioned 08 October 2026

Off road bikes.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers continue to take action to tackle the illegal use of off-road motorcycles and improve community safety. Targeted patrols and enforcement activity have resulted in several off-road bikes being seized and removed from use.

Officers have used Section 59 powers, which can be used when a vehicle is being driven in a way that causes alarm, distress or annoyance to others. A Section 59 warning may be issued initially, and continued misuse can lead to the vehicle being seized. As part of this ongoing work, officers also recovered a stolen motorcycle and made arrests in connection with the incident. Patrols and enforcement activity will continue to identify offenders, reduce nuisance caused by off-road bikes and help keep local communities safe.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Youth involved in disruptive activities.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers continue to engage with young people involved in disruptive behaviour to identify concerns early, address issues before they escalate and help prevent further incidents. This work is supported by close partnership working with other organisations to ensure that appropriate support and interventions are available where needed.

In some cases, young people have been issued with Acceptable Behaviour Agreements. These are voluntary agreements between a young person, their family and partner organisations that set out clear expectations for future behaviour and encourage positive choices. Through regular engagement, follow-up visits and ongoing support, officers and partners are working to reduce antisocial behaviour, prevent repeat incidents and improve the quality of life for local residents.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Drug use and/or cannabis smoking.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have identified concerns about the use of nitrous oxide in the area and have carried out targeted activity to address the issue. As part of this work, 31 boxes of nitrous oxide were seized and arrests were made in connection with suspected drug supply offences.

Police will continue to take action against those involved in the supply of illegal drugs and other harmful substances. Information provided by local residents plays an important role in helping officers identify criminal activity, target enforcement action and reduce the harm that drugs can cause within the community. Through ongoing enforcement and community engagement, officers are working to keep local neighbourhoods safe.
