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.

E-scooters and e-bikes. Issued 15 April 2026	Police in Medway are continuing to take action to tackle the unsafe and unlawful use of e-scooters and e-bikes. During a recent targeted operation, officers stopped a number of riders, with several vehicles being seized and Traffic Offence Reports (TOR) issued for offences that were identified. A TOR is a formal record created by police when someone is suspected of committing a road traffic offence and may result in a fixed penalty notice, a driver education course or a court appearance. Alongside enforcement activity, officers spoke with riders to explain the laws that apply to e-scooters and e-bikes and provide advice on how to use them safely and responsibly. Officers will continue to address this issue during routine patrols. Anyone using an e-scooter or e-bike in breach of the Road Traffic Act 1988, which is the law governing road use, driver responsibilities and vehicle safety, may be stopped and could have their vehicle seized.
