Rochester East and Warren Wood

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
Fly tipping. Issued 15 April 2026	This is a priority for the next 3 months. We have identified this based on feedback from local residents, crime data, and ongoing concerns in the area. We’ll publish an update in the coming months to let you know what we’ve done, what progress has been made, and what’s next. Actioned 15 April 2026
E-scooters and e-bikes. Issued 15 April 2026	This is a priority for the next 3 months. We have identified this based on feedback from local residents, crime data, and ongoing concerns in the area. We’ll publish an update in the coming months to let you know what we’ve done, what progress has been made, and what’s next. Actioned 15 April 2026
Drug use. Issued 15 April 2026	This is a priority for the next 3 months. We have identified this based on feedback from local residents, crime data, and ongoing concerns in the area. We’ll publish an update in the coming months to let you know what we’ve done, what progress has been made, and what’s next. Actioned 15 April 2026
Drug dealing. Issued 03 February 2026	Over the last month, officers have used intelligence‑led policing to target drug supply in local communities. This has helped us use our search powers to check properties linked to drug dealing and disrupt the supply of illegal drugs. Officers have also been carrying out regular patrols in areas known for recreational drug use. This has led to many stop‑searches, several arrests, and a number of positive results, including Community Resolutions. A Community Resolution is a quick and informal way of dealing with lower‑level crime, where the person involved accepts responsibility and agrees to take steps to put things right. We continue to work closely with local partners, including the council, housing providers and community groups. This joint approach helps us focus on the areas most affected by drug use and the antisocial behaviour that can come with it. Actioned 18 March 2026
E-scooters/e-bikes. Issued 03 February 2026	Medway officers have taken strong action to deal with nuisance vehicles across the area. We recently carried out a dedicated operation focusing on illegal e‑scooters, off‑road bikes and people causing harm or disruption in our neighbourhoods. Thanks to the hard work of Medway beat officers and the Community Safety Unit, a total of 30 vehicles were seized in just two days. We know nuisance vehicles are a major concern for many residents, so officers continue to carry out regular high‑visibility patrols. These patrols help deter dangerous riding and reduce antisocial behaviour, especially in parks, green spaces and other areas used by families. Actioned 18 March 2026
Drug taking. Issued 03 February 2026	Officers have used intelligence‑led policing to target drug supply in local communities. This has helped us search properties linked to drug dealing and disrupt the supply of illegal drugs. We have also been patrolling areas known for recreational drug use. This has led to several stop‑searches, arrests and positive outcomes, including Community Resolutions. A Community Resolution is an informal way of dealing with minor crime, where the person involved accepts responsibility and agrees to make things right. We continue to work with the council, housing providers and community groups to focus on the areas most affected by drug use and the antisocial behaviour linked to it. Actioned 18 March 2026
