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.

Nuisance youths. Issued 21 July 2026 |
Officers have been carrying out regular foot patrols in areas where concerns about antisocial behaviour involving young people have been reported, including Cozenton Park and Rainham Recreation Ground. These patrols provide opportunities to speak with local young people, offer advice and guidance, and address issues before they escalate. Officers have also met with youth services and staff at Cozenton Park to discuss ways of supporting young people and reducing antisocial behaviour. By working closely with partner organisations, the aim is to create safer public spaces and encourage positive activities for young people. This partnership work will continue alongside engagement with residents and community groups to help reduce antisocial behaviour and ensure local parks and public spaces remain safe and welcoming for everyone.

E-scooters/bikes. Issued 20 July 2026 |
Officers have been carrying out regular foot patrols in areas where concerns have been raised about the illegal use of e-scooters and e-bikes, including Cozenton Park and Rainham Recreation Ground. During these patrols, officers have spoken with young people about the rules surrounding e-scooter and e-bike use, helping them understand how to use these vehicles safely and legally. Even when no illegal use is identified, these conversations help raise awareness, encourage responsible behaviour and prevent future problems. Officers will continue to carry out high-visibility patrols and engage with young people to help reduce illegal e-scooter and e-bike use and keep public spaces safe and welcoming for everyone. Actioned 30 September 2026 |

Nuisance motorcycles. Issued 20 July 2026 |
Officers have been carrying out patrols in areas affected by nuisance motorcycles and have been speaking with local residents and young people about the impact this behaviour can have on the community. These conversations provide an opportunity to offer advice, raise awareness of road traffic laws and encourage safer use of vehicles. Officers have also been working with businesses in Rainham and partner organisations across Medway to explore the use of a shared radio system. This would allow businesses to quickly share information about incidents involving nuisance motorcycles, helping the police respond more effectively and improve community safety. Actioned 30 September 2026 |
