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:
Officers have continued to address reports of nuisance antisocial behaviour through targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations across the area. High-visibility patrols have been conducted to provide reassurance to residents, deter offending behaviour, and engage with individuals involved in or at risk of becoming involved in antisocial behaviour.
Where concerns have been identified, the beat officer has worked with partner agencies and local residents to gather intelligence and develop appropriate problem-solving measures aimed at reducing ongoing issues and improving community confidence.
-
Priority:
Nuisance motorcycles.
Action taken:
Officers have undertaken regular patrols of locations affected by reports of nuisance motorcycles and off-road vehicles. These patrols have focused on deterring illegal riding, gathering intelligence, and identifying those responsible for causing disruption to residents and damage to land.
Enquiries remain ongoing, and information received from the public continues to support efforts to identify offenders and take appropriate enforcement action where opportunities arise.
-
Priority:
Road safety issues.
Action taken:
Officers have continued to carry out proactive road safety patrols across the area in response to concerns raised by the community. This activity has included monitoring known hotspot locations, engaging with road users, and addressing driving behaviour that poses a risk to other members of the public.
Drivers committing traffic offences have been stopped where appropriate, with advice, education, and enforcement action considered depending on the circumstances. These patrols help improve road safety, deter offending, and maintain a visible policing presence within the community.
