Leeds & Langley

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 motorcycles.

Issued 03 February 2026

We are aware of ongoing issues involving the use of off‑road bikes. Officers have been carrying out proactive patrols in the area, both on foot and in marked police vehicles. Stop searches are carried out where appropriate.

We continue to work closely with residents who report concerns, as well as through community engagement events held throughout the year. Any off‑road bikes that are not road‑legal and are found being used in public places will be seized.
