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:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Drug use.
Action taken:
Officers have carried out targeted patrols in areas where antisocial behaviour has been reported to help prevent offending and identify those responsible. This activity has led to action being taken against people found in possession of nitrous oxide canisters. In some cases, out-of-court disposals have been used, which are measures that allow offences to be dealt with without going to court while still holding individuals accountable for their actions.
-
Priority:
Parking / road obstructions.
Action taken:
Officers continue to respond to reports of vehicles blocking driveways and footpaths, speaking with drivers and providing advice to help prevent future problems. Work is also ongoing to address parking concerns outside local schools, with patrols and engagement activity taking place to encourage safer and more considerate parking behaviour around busy drop-off and pick-up times.
-
Priority:
Antisocial behaviour.
Action taken:
This issue has been linked to reports of drug-related activity, and officers have carried out targeted patrols in locations where concerns have been raised. These patrols aim to deter antisocial behaviour, identify those responsible and provide reassurance to local residents. Officers also continue to patrol the Fleet Estate in response to reports of nuisance bikes and young people using catapults, working to prevent further incidents and improve community safety.
