Neighbourhood policing is a key part of Kent Police’s commitment to being community-focused, visible, and responsive.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

High-visibility patrols have been conducted to provide reassurance to residents, deter offending behaviour, and engage with individuals involved in or at risk of becoming involved in antisocial behaviour.

Where concerns have been identified, the beat officer has worked with partner agencies and local residents to gather intelligence and develop appropriate problem-solving measures aimed at reducing ongoing issues and improving community confidence.
