Headcorn & Sutton Valence

Catapults.

Officers continue to use a range of approaches to identify those carrying and misusing catapults. Targeted patrols are carried out in areas where concerns have been raised, and officers use available powers where appropriate to address offending. Officers are also working with the local Parish Council to obtain CCTV footage to help identify those responsible and support intervention, education and other measures aimed at preventing further incidents.

Fly tipping.

Officers continue to work closely with the local authority's Waste Crime Team to tackle fly-tipping. Information is regularly shared between partner agencies to help identify problem locations, support enforcement activity and prevent future offences.

Wildlife crime issues.

Officers are working with the Rural Task Force to tackle wildlife crime and target those suspected of offending. High-visibility patrols continue in areas where concerns have been raised, and officers attend incidents in progress where possible. This ongoing work helps protect wildlife, deter offending and improve safety in rural communities.
