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:
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.
Action taken:
Police are continuing to respond to reports of antisocial behaviour in the area and are using information from residents to identify locations where concerns have been raised. Enquiries are ongoing to identify those responsible, and action will be taken where offences or persistent issues are identified. Officers are also aware of reports of nuisance motorcycles and mopeds being ridden in an antisocial or illegal manner. Patrols and enquiries are continuing to identify riders, gather evidence, and take appropriate action where necessary. Information from the public remains vital in helping police target their activity effectively. Residents are encouraged to report incidents involving nuisance motorcycles or mopeds and provide as much detail as possible, including the location, time, and a description of the rider or vehicle. This information helps officers identify those responsible and take action to address concerns in the community.

Priority:
Fly tipping.
Action taken:
Police are aware of concerns about fly-tipping in the area. Fly-tipping is the illegal dumping of waste and is usually dealt with by the local council. Officers work closely with council partners to share information and support efforts to address issues affecting the community. Information about fly-tipping incidents, including abandoned vehicles, has been passed to the council to help identify and tackle problem locations. Police and partner agencies will continue to work together to address these issues, support enforcement action where appropriate, and help keep local neighbourhoods clean, safe and welcoming for everyone.

Priority:
Road safety.
Action taken:
PC Absolon has been carrying out enquiries into reports of nuisance behaviour involving bikes, mopeds, e-bikes and e-scooters in the area. This includes identifying those responsible and, where appropriate, speaking with parents or guardians to help prevent further incidents. As part of ongoing enforcement activity, several e-bikes and e-scooters have been seized after being used illegally. PC Absolon continues to patrol the area, speak with local residents and gather information to help tackle these issues. Improving safety on local roads and in public spaces remains a priority, and work will continue to address concerns, take action against unlawful vehicle use, and reduce behaviour that puts riders, pedestrians and other road users at risk.
