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.

Road safety issues.

We responded to concerns about nuisance vehicles, including off-road bikes, through patrols and enforcement activity. Illegal vehicles were seized and arrests were made for vehicle-related offences. We also worked with partner agencies to explore further ways to identify and deter offenders. Enforcement action was taken against drivers who ignored road signs and drove in breach of traffic restrictions.

E-bikes/e-scooters.
Action taken:
We monitored reports of nuisance motorcycles, e-scooters and e-bikes through My Community Voice and police systems. Patrols and enquiries were carried out in identified hotspot areas to support targeted enforcement activity. Vehicles being used in an antisocial manner were also seized during this review period.
