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.

Priority:
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.
Action taken:
Local officers continue to patrol Edenbridge regularly and have recently established a new police office in the town. Antisocial behaviour remains an issue, particularly involving catapults and e-scooters. As a result, the area is included in a district tasking plan, meaning response officers also focus patrols here where possible.
A number of stop and searches have been carried out, and officers have identified some repeat offenders. Action is being taken using antisocial behaviour powers to address ongoing concerns. Officers are also working with the community to prevent further incidents and will continue to discuss these issues at local engagement events.
Residents are encouraged to report any information that may help investigations. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with the local officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV).

Priority:
Burglary - residential.
Action taken:
There have been no reported burglaries in the area over the past 3 months. Officers will continue to carry out patrols and monitor local crime trends to help keep the community safe. Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the police.

Priority:
Road safety.
Action taken:
The local policing team has carried out speed checks in and around the area following concerns about road safety. Several drivers were stopped and dealt with for speeding offences, and further speed enforcement activity is planned throughout the summer. Officers have also made a number of arrests for drink-driving offences and continue to carry out vehicle stop checks as part of ongoing district road safety operations. Residents are encouraged to join My Community Voice (MCV) to receive updates and stay in direct contact with their local neighbourhood officer.
