Your Neighbourhood Policing Team is made up of Kent Police beat officers who are dedicated to keeping your community safe. They focus on preventing crime and antisocial behaviour, responding to local concerns, and building strong relationships with residents, community groups and local businesses.

Our officers will:

patrol to deter crime and reassure the public
hold regular engagement activities in the area, including attending community meetings to share advice and listen to concerns
work with partner agencies including councils, schools, charities, and local groups
tackle issues like antisocial behaviour, repeat offending, and vulnerability
build trust by being visible, approachable, and responsive

Neighbourhood policing is a key part of Kent Police’s commitment to being community-focused, visible, and responsive.

Local Priority Issues

Priority	Action taken
Antisocial behaviour - general. Issued 15 October 2025	PC Roy has increased high‑visibility patrols in local hotspot areas, including the Talmead Estate, especially during the times when incidents have been reported. He has been engaging with those most affected by the antisocial behaviour, carrying out regular visits to check on their welfare and offering advice on safety and security. PC Roy has been able to safeguard one vulnerable individual who is no longer experiencing antisocial behaviour, thanks to regular contact and joint work with partner agencies. He will continue to patrol hotspot locations during peak times and will proactively engage with anyone involved in antisocial behaviour. Actioned 19 January 2026
Drug dealing. Issued 15 October 2025	PC Roy has identified the areas in Beltinge most affected by drug dealing. He has increased high‑visibility patrols in these hotspot locations to help deter this behaviour. PC Roy has also submitted intelligence reports to support evidence‑gathering for warrants and future intelligence‑led enforcement. A Community Protection Warning is being issued to a resident who continues to smoke cannabis at his home address. His actions have been affecting others living nearby. A Community Protection Warning is a formal notice that tells someone their behaviour must stop because it is having a negative impact on the community. If the person does not comply, they can face a fine or prosecution. PC Roy will continue to listen to residents’ concerns, take enforcement action where appropriate, and maintain high‑visibility patrols in the hotspot areas. Actioned 19 January 2026
Fraud. Issued 15 October 2025	PC Roy has been sharing information with the public about current fraud trends and known scams, including through his monthly local engagement meetings. He has also worked with organisations such as Age UK to help protect those who may be more vulnerable to fraud. Recently, PC Roy supported a vulnerable woman who had been targeted by fraudsters pretending to be police officers. They had encouraged her to withdraw a large amount of money to help with a fake investigation. She became suspicious and attended the police station, where officers quickly identified the scam, took a report, and provided safeguarding advice. Actioned 19 January 2026
