Aylesford South & Ditton

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 08 October 2026

Antisocial behaviour - general.

Issued 20 July 2026

Reports of antisocial behaviour increased during the summer holiday period, which is often linked to more young people spending time outdoors. In response, officers have carried out high-visibility patrols in hotspot locations to provide reassurance to residents, deter antisocial behaviour and engage with young people where appropriate. Officers will continue to monitor concerns and work with local communities to help keep the area safe and reduce the impact of antisocial behaviour.

Actioned 30 September 2026

E-scooters/E-bikes.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers have carried out house-to-house enquiries in the area following reports of nuisance motorcycles being ridden on local playing fields. These enquiries helped officers gather information from residents and identify any potential witnesses. While no suspects have been identified so far, enquiries remain ongoing and targeted patrols continue when operationally possible to deter antisocial behaviour and reassure the community.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 20 July 2026

Officers continue to carry out proactive road safety patrols across the area in response to concerns raised by residents. Drivers identified committing road traffic offences are stopped and, where appropriate, provided with advice, education or enforcement action. These patrols provide a visible police presence, promote safer driving and help reduce the risk of collisions and other incidents on local roads.
