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.

Priority:
Road safety issues.
Action taken:
Officers continue to address road safety concerns linked to the illegal use of off-road motorcycles. Using information from residents and local intelligence, officers have identified and taken action against riders responsible for offending in the area. Local officers also support a number of ongoing operations that focus on different aspects of nuisance and off-road vehicle use, sharing information and intelligence to help identify offenders, target enforcement activity and improve safety within the community.
-
Priority:
Nuisance motorcycles.
Action taken:
Officers continue to carry out targeted activity to tackle nuisance motorcycles and identify those responsible. Through proactive patrols and enforcement work, local officers have successfully identified and prosecuted individuals using off-road motorcycles illegally. Patrols will continue in areas where concerns have been raised to deter offending and improve community safety.
-
Priority:
Antisocial behaviour - general.
Action taken:
Officers continue to work with local housing providers and partner organisations to tackle antisocial behaviour. Where appropriate, officers use Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) to address behaviour that is having a negative impact on the community. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning designed to stop antisocial behaviour before further action becomes necessary. Mobile CCTV has also been deployed in hotspot locations, and joint visits and enforcement days are being carried out with housing partners to identify issues, take action where needed and support long-term solutions.
