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.
Report crime
Please do not contact neighbourhood officers to report crime.
If it's not an emergency, the easiest way to contact us is online. Your report will be sent direct to our control room where it will be reviewed by the same team who answer our calls.

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. Actioned 30 September 2026 |
