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.

Priority:
Drug dealing.
Action taken:
PC Albers has been working closely with local businesses, residents and the wider community to gather information about drug-related activity in the area. Information provided by the public helps build a better understanding of local issues and is shared with specialist teams and local officers so that appropriate action can be taken. This may include targeted patrols, stop and search activity and other enforcement measures where there are grounds to do so.
Information from the public is vital in helping police tackle drug use, dealing and supply. Residents are encouraged to report any concerns or information they may have by calling us or through the Kent Police website. Reports from the community help officers identify those responsible and take action to reduce the harm caused by drugs.

Priority:
E-scooters/E-bikes.
Action taken:
PC Albers has responded to a number of reports relating to nuisance vehicles, including dirt bikes and mopeds being ridden in a way that causes nuisance or concern to the community. Enquiries are ongoing to identify those responsible, and appropriate action will be taken where offences are identified. Recent changes in legislation have strengthened police powers to seize nuisance vehicles, meaning officers may be able to take action without first issuing a warning in certain circumstances. Information from the public is essential in helping police tackle this issue. Residents are encouraged to report nuisance vehicles, locations where they are being used and any identifying details by calling us or through the Kent Police website.
