Northgate

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.

Nuisance motorcycles. Issued 07 October 2026	This is a priority for the next 3 months. We have identified this based on feedback from local residents, crime data, and ongoing concerns in the area. We’ll publish an update in the coming months to let you know what we’ve done, what progress has been made, and what’s next. Actioned 07 October 2026
Nuisance motorcycles. Issued 20 July 2026	A number of e-scooters and illegally modified e-bikes have been seized in the area after being used without the required insurance. Officers have shared information with residents about the laws relating to e-scooters and e-bikes, helping people understand where and how they can be used legally. Privately owned e-scooters cannot currently be used on public roads, cycle lanes or pavements. Riders found using them illegally may have their vehicle seized and could face enforcement action. Mobile patrols are carried out regularly to identify offences, provide advice and take action where necessary. We will continue to monitor concerns and carry out targeted activity to help improve safety for all road users. Actioned 30 September 2026
Antisocial behaviour - personal. Issued 20 July 2026	Officers have carried out high-visibility patrols in the area to help prevent antisocial behaviour and provide reassurance to residents and businesses. While no antisocial behaviour has been witnessed during these patrols, officers have spoken with groups of young people gathering in retail and shopping areas to discuss how their behaviour may be perceived by others and the impact it can have on the wider community. Officers have also engaged with local businesses and provided crime prevention advice to help reduce opportunities for crime and antisocial behaviour. Actioned 30 September 2026
Drug dealing. Issued 20 July 2026	Officers have carried out both vehicle and foot patrols in areas where concerns about drug-related activity have been raised. As part of this activity, officers have conducted a number of stop and searches involving people and vehicles suspected of being connected to drug offences. A stop and search is a power that allows police to search a person or vehicle where there are lawful grounds to suspect they may be carrying illegal drugs, weapons or other prohibited items. This work has led to a number of arrests for suspected possession of Class A drugs, including substances such as cocaine and heroin. Officers continue to investigate information provided by residents and are using this intelligence to identify those involved in drug-related crime and take appropriate enforcement action. Tackling drug-related offending remains a priority, and we will continue to carry out targeted patrols and enforcement activity to help keep local communities safe. Actioned 30 September 2026
