Rainham South East

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/Bikes.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers have been carrying out regular patrols in areas where concerns have been raised about the use of e-scooters and electric bikes. During these patrols, officers have spoken with members of the public, identified riders where possible, and provided advice about using these vehicles safely and legally. This work aims to address concerns raised by residents, improve public safety, and reduce antisocial behaviour linked to the misuse of e-scooters and electric bikes. In addition, requests have been made for CCTV cameras to be installed in key locations. If approved, these cameras will help monitor the area, identify offenders, gather evidence, and support action against those using e-scooters and electric bikes irresponsibly or unlawfully.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 20 July 2026

Road safety remains a priority following concerns raised by local residents. In response, officers have carried out proactive road safety checks in the area, using speed detection equipment to monitor traffic and identify drivers exceeding the speed limit. These checks have taken place on roads where speeding has been reported as a concern by the community. The aim is to encourage safer driving, improve compliance with speed limits, and help protect all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable people. Where appropriate, drivers may be given advice, education or enforcement action. This work helps reduce speeding, prevent collisions and make local roads safer for everyone.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Drug taking.

Issued 20 July 2026

Alongside patrols focused on concerns about e-scooters and electric bikes, officers have also been monitoring areas where reports of drug use and related antisocial behaviour have been received. Regular high-visibility patrols have been carried out to provide reassurance to residents, deter offending and identify any criminal activity taking place in public spaces. These patrols also provide opportunities to speak with local people and gather information about community concerns while maintaining a visible police presence. Officers will continue to monitor locations where issues have been reported and will take appropriate action where evidence of drug-related activity or antisocial behaviour is identified.
