Town

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.

Issued 21 July 2026

Addressing antisocial behaviour remains a priority for local officers, who continue to carry out proactive patrols and targeted enforcement activity in response to concerns raised by residents. Where individuals have been identified as having a negative impact on the community, officers have issued Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning about behaviour that is causing problems for others. If the behaviour continues, a Community Protection Notice can be issued, which sets legal requirements that must be followed. Failure to comply can lead to further enforcement action. Officers also use CCTV and other evidence to identify repeat offenders, take appropriate action and help reduce the impact of antisocial behaviour on the local community.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Nuisance vehicles.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers continue to take action against the illegal and dangerous use of e-scooters and nuisance bikes in the area. Through targeted patrols and enforcement activity, more than 10 e-scooters being used unlawfully have been seized.

Officers have also issued a Community Protection Notice to a repeat offender whose behaviour was having a negative impact on the community. A Community Protection Notice is a legal notice that requires a person to stop behaviour that is causing problems for local residents. Failure to comply can lead to further enforcement action. These measures help improve safety for residents and visitors and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to tackling nuisance vehicle use and antisocial behaviour.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Alcohol use.

Issued 21 July 2026

Addressing alcohol-related antisocial behaviour remains a priority for local officers.

Regular patrols are carried out in areas where concerns about street drinking and related antisocial behaviour have been reported. Officers take enforcement action where appropriate and have issued a number of fixed penalty notices for breaches of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO). A PSPO is a legal measure used to address persistent antisocial behaviour in a specific area and can place restrictions on activities such as street drinking. Breaching the restrictions can result in a fixed penalty notice or further enforcement action. Officers will continue to monitor hotspot locations, respond to concerns from residents and businesses, and take action to help improve safety and reduce the impact of alcohol-related antisocial behaviour on the community.
