Neighbourhood Policing Team
Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is made up of local officers and police community support officers, led by a sergeant and inspector. They’re based in your area and supported by the wider Kent Police team.
We work with councils, community groups and local leaders to tackle the issues that matter most, finding long-term solutions and reducing crime.
We publish the meetings and events we plan to attend, but attendance depends on operational priorities.
My Community Voice is a free messaging service that keeps you updated on local news, events and safety information from your policing team. Find out more and register for My Community Voice.

Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Nuisance motorcycles.
Action taken:
We have received reports of nuisance motorbike activity in the area and understand the impact this behaviour can have on local residents.
In response, officers have been carrying out high-visibility patrols in locations where concerns have been raised. These patrols help deter antisocial behaviour, provide reassurance to the community and enable officers to identify those responsible.
Officers are also working to gather information about where the motorcycles are being stored and used so that appropriate enforcement action can be taken. This may include seizing vehicles that are being used illegally or in an antisocial manner.
-
Priority:
Road safety issues.
Action taken:
Officers regularly carry out speed checks in locations where concerns about speeding have been raised. They also work closely with Community Speedwatch volunteers to identify areas where speeding is most frequently reported and to help target enforcement activity.
Information provided by residents and Community Speedwatch groups helps officers focus resources where they are needed most. We will continue to monitor concerns and take action to improve road safety across the area.
-
Priority:
E-scooters/E-bikes.
Action taken:
Officers are aware of concerns about the use of e-scooters and e-bikes in the area and have been carrying out high-visibility patrols in locations where issues have been reported.
Patrols help officers engage with riders, provide advice about the law and take action where offences are identified. We will continue to monitor concerns raised by residents and carry out targeted activity to improve safety within the community.
