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.

Crimes and priorities
-
Priority:
Action taken:
-
Priority:
E-bikes/e-scooters.
Action taken:
Officers have carried out targeted patrols, responded to reports, obtained and reviewed footage where available, and conducted searches for vehicles linked to antisocial behaviour. Positive action has been taken where opportunities have arisen, including the seizure of nuisance vehicles and the development of new reporting methods to make it easier for residents to provide evidence directly to officers. Officers have also used community messaging platforms to share crime prevention advice and encourage reporting. This ongoing enforcement and engagement work helps identify offenders, remove nuisance vehicles from the roads, and improve the information available to support future action.
-
Priority:
Antisocial behaviour.
Action taken:
Beat Officers, the Neighbourhood Task Force and PCSOs have maintained a visible presence through high-visibility patrols, community engagement events, and targeted activity in hotspot locations. Officers have continued to follow up reports received from members of the public, providing reassurance, obtaining additional information and reviewing CCTV opportunities to help identify those responsible for antisocial behaviour.
Alongside this, proactive operations targeting local concerns have continued, with further activity planned as seasonal demand reduces and additional resources become available. We remain committed to working with residents and partner agencies to tackle antisocial behaviour, address community concerns, and provide long-term solutions to local issues.

Priority:
Catapults.
Action taken:
Officers have attended reports, carried out enquiries, reviewed available CCTV opportunities, and engaged with those affected to provide reassurance. Where individuals have been identified, positive action has been taken and words of advice provided to help prevent further incidents. Officers have also worked with residents to gather information and encourage reporting, ensuring that concerns can be investigated promptly. This proactive approach has helped address incidents quickly, identify those involved where possible, and reinforce the message that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated within the community.
