Aylesford North & North Downs

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.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers have continued to address reports of nuisance antisocial behaviour through targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations across the area. 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.

Officers have undertaken regular patrols of locations affected by reports of nuisance motorcycles and off-road vehicles. These patrols have focused on deterring illegal riding, gathering intelligence, and identifying those responsible for causing disruption to residents and damage to land.

Enquiries remain ongoing, and information received from the public continues to support efforts to identify offenders and take appropriate enforcement action where opportunities arise.

Road safety issues.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers have continued to carry out proactive road safety patrols across the area in response to concerns raised by the community. This activity has included monitoring known hotspot locations, engaging with road users, and addressing driving behaviour that poses a risk to other members of the public.

Drivers committing traffic offences have been stopped where appropriate, with advice, education, and enforcement action considered depending on the circumstances. These patrols help improve road safety, deter offending, and maintain a visible policing presence within the community.
