Your Community Safety Unit
Your Community Safety Unit 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.

E‑scooters and e‑bikes are a key concern for many residents.
The Community Safety Unit is running operations across Medway to tackle unsafe and illegal use, seizing vehicles where necessary.
Enforcement is focused in areas such as Strood High Street, where a zero‑tolerance approach is in place. This means all offences are dealt with, with regular seizures of e‑scooters and e‑bikes.
