Sevenoaks Eastern

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

Priority	Action taken
Antisocial behaviour. Issued 03 February 2026	The local officer continues to patrol the ward and review recent call data. At this time, there have been very few reports of antisocial behaviour, and no clear patterns have been identified that would require targeted action. Officers will continue to monitor the situation closely. We encourage all incidents of criminal damage to be reported. Each report helps us build a clearer picture of any emerging issues, identify those involved, and respond effectively where needed. Actioned 30 March 2026
Burglary residential. Issued 03 February 2026	There has been one report of a residential burglary in this area within the last three months. Kent Police continues to focus on burglary prevention through proactive policing and strong engagement with the community. Officers work to reduce the risk of burglary by providing practical crime‑prevention advice, such as securing homes, marking property, and using alarms and CCTV to deter offenders. Proactive patrols and investigations have also led to the identification and arrest of burglary suspects. Recent cases across the county have resulted in significant prison sentences for offenders involved in wider burglary series. Local beat teams will continue to patrol areas identified as higher risk, providing reassurance to residents and helping to prevent further offences. High‑visibility patrols have also taken place during the autumn months to deter crime and increase police presence. Actioned 30 March 2026
Vehicle crime. Issued 03 February 2026	Vehicle crime continues to be an issue across the Sevenoaks district and nearby areas, with offenders targeting vehicles and items left inside them. Beat officers have increased patrols in areas where problems are reported most often and are working closely with intelligence teams and neighbouring police forces to help identify those responsible. Officers are also sharing crime‑prevention advice with residents and encouraging people to report any suspicious activity. This helps ensure police resources are focused where they are needed most.
