St John's

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.

Issued 22 July 2026

Officers continue to maintain a visible presence in the area through regular high-visibility patrols, helping to deter crime, provide reassurance to residents and respond to concerns raised by the community. Local neighbourhood officers work closely with residents, businesses and partner organisations to identify issues affecting the area and take appropriate action where necessary.

The ward is now supported by PC Amelia Brooker and PC Mark Trinder, who have recently taken responsibility for the area. They will be holding regular community surgeries, which will be promoted through My Community Voice (MCV), giving residents the opportunity to discuss local concerns, seek advice and work with officers to address issues affecting their neighbourhood. Through ongoing patrols, community engagement and partnership working, officers remain committed to improving community safety and responding to the issues that matter most to local residents.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Highway obstructions.

Issued 22 July 2026

Officers continue to work with local partners to address concerns about parking and vehicle obstruction. Responsibility for most parking enforcement matters sits with the local council, and officers have been liaising with the council's enforcement team to ensure concerns raised by residents are addressed through the appropriate channels. Where offences fall within police powers, such as dangerous obstructions or other road traffic offences, officers will take enforcement action where appropriate. Through ongoing partnership working and community engagement, officers continue to work to improve road safety and address concerns raised by local residents.
