Road safety.

Issued 15 April 2026

We carry out speed checks and stop drivers in areas where residents have raised concerns.

Drivers who break the law may be issued with tickets, reported to court or arrested. We also work with partners and schools to promote road safety, especially for young people.

Drug dealing.

Issued 15 April 2026

Police in Medway are taking action to tackle drug crime.

We use community information to guide our work, carry out search warrants (legal permission to search a property), and deploy plain clothes officers (officers not in uniform). We also work with specialist teams to target organised drug networks, including county lines (where gangs use mobile phone lines to control drug dealing across areas).

Your support is important. Please report anything unusual or suspicious so we can take action.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 15 April 2026

We work closely with Medway Council, housing teams and youth services to tackle antisocial behaviour and prevent it escalating.

Where needed, we use powers such as dispersal orders (which allow officers to direct people to leave an area) and Community Protection Warnings and Notices (formal actions used to stop ongoing antisocial behaviour).

Reports from local people help us focus our patrols, so please continue to share any concerns with us.
