Kings Hill

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.

Road safety issues.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers continue to carry out proactive road safety patrols using local information and intelligence to identify and deal with road traffic offences. This has resulted in action being taken against vehicles being driven without valid insurance, road tax or an MOT.

Officers also respond to reports of antisocial driving, speaking with drivers about their behaviour and taking appropriate action where necessary. Information gathered during these incidents is recorded to help identify repeat offenders and support future enforcement activity, helping to improve road safety and address concerns raised by residents.

Actioned 30 September 2026

E-scooters/E-bikes.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers continue to monitor reports of the illegal use of off-road bikes, e-bikes and e-scooters in the Orchard Park area. Targeted patrols are carried out in locations where concerns have been raised, helping to identify offenders, provide reassurance to residents and address antisocial behaviour.

Officers also visit addresses linked to reports from the community, offering advice and education to riders and owners about the law and the safe use of these vehicles. This ongoing work aims to prevent further offences, improve road safety and reduce the impact on local residents.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Theft-shoplifting.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers continue to work with local retailers and shop staff to help prevent shoplifting and identify offenders. Regular engagement with businesses, along with the review of crime reports and CCTV footage, helps officers gather information, identify suspects and support enforcement action where appropriate. This proactive approach helps deter offending, support local businesses and keep shopping areas safe for staff, customers and the wider community.
