Crimes and priorities

Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
Fly tipping.
Action taken:
We are working with Dartford Borough Council to identify areas at risk of waste crime and how they can be better protected.
Through this ongoing work, vehicles linked to offences have been identified and action has been taken to prosecute those responsible.
-
Priority:
E-scooters/e-bikes.
Action taken:
Officers are supporting Dartford Borough Council to enforce a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO). A PSPO is a legal order that helps prevent antisocial behaviour in public areas.
Officers have stopped and seized illegal e-scooters, e-bikes and e-motorbikes where possible. Kent Police also took part in a recent national day of action to tackle the unsafe and unlawful use of these vehicles.
-
Priority:
Noise disturbance.
Action taken:
We are tackling the antisocial use of motorbikes, mainly off-road bikes, through targeted patrols.
Stopping riders can be challenging, as many do not stop when required. However, when they are stopped, officers take action where offences are identified, and work continues to address this issue.
