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.

Catapults.
Action taken:
Residents raised concerns about the use of catapults and the potential risks they pose to people, wildlife and property. Officers have increased patrols in areas where concerns have been reported and continue to engage with young people to educate them on the consequences of carrying and using catapults. Reports are regularly reviewed to identify patterns and ensure patrols are directed to the areas of concern.
