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:
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.
Action taken:
PC Taylor has continued to tackle antisocial behaviour in the Viking Bay area through high-visibility patrols and targeted enforcement activity. Working with partner agencies and local colleagues, he has taken action to address concerns raised by residents, businesses and visitors.
Where necessary, dispersal powers have been used to direct people to leave an area when their behaviour is causing, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress. Officers have also seized alcohol where appropriate to help prevent alcohol-related nuisance and disorder. This proactive approach has helped improve safety and reduce antisocial behaviour in the area, with residents reporting that Viking Bay feels safer and more welcoming. PC Taylor remains committed to maintaining this progress and responding to concerns raised by the community.
