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.

E-scooters. Issued 22 July 2026 |
The local officer continues to monitor the use of e-scooters across the area and is working to identify those using them illegally or in a way that causes nuisance to others.

Residents are encouraged to continue reporting the illegal or antisocial use of e-scooters, as this information can help identify repeat offenders, support enquiries and guide future enforcement activity.

Information from local residents is invaluable in helping officers build intelligence and identify repeat offenders, and the public are encouraged to continue reporting incidents and providing any information that may assist enquiries.
