Edenbridge South and West

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 - nuisance/catapults. Issued 14 April 2026	Local officers continue to patrol Edenbridge regularly and have recently established a new police office in the town. Antisocial behaviour remains a concern, particularly involving catapults and e-scooters. The area is included in a district tasking plan, meaning response officers also focus patrols here where possible. A number of stop and searches have been carried out, and some repeat offenders have been identified and are being dealt with using antisocial behaviour powers. Officers will continue to work with the community, discuss concerns at local engagement events and encourage residents to share information that may help address ongoing issues. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with your local neighbourhood officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV). Actioned 02 July 2026
Nuisance vehicles. Issued 14 April 2026	E-scooters continue to be a concern in Edenbridge. Much of our work focuses on education, as some users may not realise that privately owned e-scooters cannot be used legally on public roads, pavements or other public places. Advice and awareness messages have been shared through local schools, and officers continue to engage with young people and their families. Anyone found using an e-scooter unlawfully risks having it seized and may receive a penalty notice. Residents are encouraged to join My Community Voice (MCV) to receive updates and stay in direct contact with their local neighbourhood officer. Actioned 02 July 2026
Road safety. Issued 14 April 2026	The local policing team has carried out speed checks in and around the area following concerns about speeding. Several drivers were stopped and dealt with for speeding offences, and further enforcement activity is planned throughout the summer months. Officers have also made a number of drink-driving arrests and continue to carry out vehicle stop checks as part of ongoing district road safety operations. Residents are encouraged to join My Community Voice (MCV) to receive updates and stay in direct contact with their local neighbourhood officer. Actioned 02 July 2026
