Rainham North

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.

  • in an emergency, call 999

  • call 101 for non-emergency enquiries

Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

E-scooter/e-bikes.

Issued 03 February 2026

We are carrying out high‑visibility patrols in the area and working with local people to identify where e‑scooters are being kept and who owns them. Officers are dealing with offences and have issued Section 59 warnings where needed.

A Section 59 warning is used when a vehicle is being used in an antisocial or dangerous way. If the behaviour continues after a warning, the vehicle can be seized.

We are also working closely with the council to address problem parking in the area.

We have increased patrols in areas where parking issues have been raised with us at local police surgeries. Officers are taking action where needed, including asking vehicles to move on. We are also working closely with the council on highway‑related issues, sharing information about problem areas. In addition, we have arranged a joint operation with civil enforcement officers to focus on the locations residents have highlighted.
