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:
Nuisance vehicles.
Action taken:
Officers continue to respond to reports of nuisance motorcycles in Harvest Field, Crockenhill through targeted patrols and enforcement activity. Following reports from residents, officers identified 2 motorcycles linked to the concerns and issued Section 59 warnings to both riders. A Section 59 warning can be issued when a vehicle is being used in a way that causes alarm, distress or annoyance to others. If the behaviour continues, the vehicle may be seized by police.
Officers have also carried out a site assessment to identify key access points being used by off-road motorcycles. These findings have been shared with the local parish council, and options are being considered to help prevent unauthorised vehicle access and reduce nuisance behaviour. Officers will continue to patrol the area, monitor reports and work with residents to identify offenders and take appropriate action where necessary. Residents are encouraged to continue reporting incidents, as information from the community helps officers target enforcement activity and improve safety in the area.

Priority:
Nuisance antisocial behaviour.
Action taken:
Officers continue to work with residents and local communities to address antisocial behaviour linked to nuisance vehicles, including off-road motorcycles and quad bikes. Reports from the community help officers identify problem locations, gather intelligence and target enforcement activity where it is most needed. By tackling nuisance vehicle use, officers aim to reduce the wider impact of antisocial behaviour and improve community safety. Residents are encouraged to continue reporting incidents and concerns, as information from the public plays an important role in helping officers identify emerging issues and take appropriate action.
