Cranbrook, Sissinghurst & Frittenden

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.

Catapults.

Issued 22 July 2026

The local officer remains committed to tackling crime and antisocial behaviour across the rural communities and neighbouring wards. As well as taking enforcement action where needed, she works closely with individuals who have been identified as being involved in these issues, offering advice and support to help prevent further offending. Information from local residents continues to play an important role in this work, and the community is encouraged to keep reporting incidents and concerns. These reports help officers identify those responsible, target resources effectively and address problems before they escalate.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Road safety.

Issued 22 July 2026

The local officer continues to carry out speed checks across the area to help improve road safety and address concerns raised by residents. Using local knowledge of the rural road network, speed enforcement activity is focused on locations where it is likely to have the greatest impact. Drivers found exceeding the speed limit may be dealt with through prosecution or educational schemes designed to increase awareness of the dangers speeding poses to other road users. This ongoing work helps make roads safer for everyone who lives, works and travels through the area.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Dog fouling.

Issued 22 July 2026

Officers continue to work closely with local authorities to address this issue and support ongoing efforts to find long-term solutions. Residents are encouraged to report concerns to the appropriate organisation, as this helps ensure issues are directed to the agency best placed to take action and allows resources to be used effectively.
