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.

Actioned 02 July 2026

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 14 April 2026

There has been one report of antisocial behaviour in the area during the past 3 months. However, local officers are aware of ongoing concerns regarding off-road motorcycles being ridden on roads and through public spaces. In response, officers have carried out proactive patrols, resulting in several bikes being seized, Section 59 warnings being issued and enforcement action being taken against those involved. A Section 59 warning is a legal warning issued when a vehicle is used in an antisocial manner, and further offending can result in the vehicle being seized.

Residents are encouraged to continue reporting all forms of antisocial behaviour, as this helps officers identify problem areas and focus patrols where they are needed most. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with your local neighbourhood officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV).

Actioned 02 July 2026

Burglary - residential.

Issued 14 April 2026

The local neighbourhood officer regularly patrols the area and remains aware of burglary concerns. There have been 2 reports of burglaries involving outbuildings during the past 3 months. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to Kent Police, as information from the community can help identify offenders and prevent further crime.
