Dunton Green and Riverhead

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.

Local Priority Issues

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 03 February 2026

Local officers continue to work closely with the Parish Council to seek any available footage that may help identify individuals involved in antisocial behaviour.

We are also working with Orbit Housing to address issues linked to specific individuals in the area, using a joint‑agency approach to resolve concerns.

We encourage all incidents of antisocial behaviour to be reported. This helps us build a clearer picture of the issue, identify those involved, and respond effectively.
