Senacre

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 15 July 2026

Officers continue to tackle nuisance motorcycles through targeted patrols and proactive enforcement activity. Patrols are focused on areas where concerns have been raised to help identify offenders, deter antisocial behaviour and improve community safety. Information from residents also helps officers target activity where it is most needed and take action against those responsible.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Antisocial behaviour - general.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers continue to work with local housing providers and partner organisations to address antisocial behaviour and support long-term solutions. Where appropriate, officers use Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) to address behaviour that is having a negative impact on the community. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning designed to stop antisocial behaviour before further action becomes necessary. Ongoing partnership working helps identify those responsible, reduce repeat incidents and improve the quality of life for local residents.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Drug taking.

Issued 15 July 2026

Officers are aware of reports of drug use in the area and have carried out targeted patrols in response. These patrols help provide reassurance to residents and identify any criminal activity. Information from the public is vital in helping officers take action, and residents are encouraged to continue reporting concerns so they can be investigated and addressed appropriately. Officers will continue to monitor the area and respond to any new information received.
