Priority:
Graffiti.
Action taken:
We are working with officers from nearby areas to tackle graffiti. A database has been created to track common "tags" (names or symbols used by graffiti offenders) and identify where they are active.
This work has led to social media enquiries, and we are using this information to identify a suspect linked to graffiti seen across the borough.

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:
Antisocial behaviour - general.
Action taken:
A police-led multi-agency operation to tackle antisocial behaviour (ASB) has been extended into Ebbsfleet due to issues spreading from Swanscombe.
Officers from the Local Policing Team (LPT) have increased patrols in the area, including using key routes such as the Ebbsfleet bus lane to maintain a visible presence and help deter further incidents.
