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

Road safety.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers continue to address road safety concerns through targeted patrols and enforcement activity in response to issues raised by residents. A number of speed enforcement operations have been carried out across the ward, resulting in drivers being stopped for road traffic offences. Officers will continue to conduct patrols and enforcement activity at locations identified through community concerns and local intelligence to improve road safety and reduce offending on local roads.

Further speed enforcement activity is planned over the coming weeks and months. Residents are encouraged to report dangerous, antisocial or inconsiderate driving, as information from the community helps officers identify problem locations and direct patrols where they are needed most. Through ongoing enforcement, community engagement and road safety initiatives, officers remain committed to improving safety for all road users.
