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.

Off-road motorcycles. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Shoker has increased visible patrols to tackle antisocial motorbike use, particularly involving off-road bikes being ridden in inappropriate places. When riders are stopped, officers take action where offences have been identified. This may include issuing tickets, reporting offences or seizing vehicles where powers allow. Dealing with this issue can be challenging, as some riders fail to stop when asked to do so by police. Despite this, officers will continue to take action whenever opportunities arise. Further days of action are planned, bringing together additional police resources to increase patrols, identify offenders and maximise opportunities to stop and seize bikes linked to criminal or antisocial behaviour. The aim is to hold those responsible to account and improve safety for local residents and businesses. Actioned 30 June 2026
Road safety. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Shoker has increased patrols in the area to tackle poor driving and improve road safety. As part of this work, he has issued Traffic Offence Reports (TOR) and spoken directly with drivers about safe and legal driving. A TOR is a formal record created by police when someone is suspected of committing a road traffic offence. Depending on the circumstances, this can lead to a fixed penalty notice, a driver education course or a court appearance. Over the past 3 months, several vehicles have been seized because of safety concerns relating to the way they were being driven, as well as other road traffic offences. PC Shoker is also exploring opportunities to introduce future Speedwatch campaigns. Speedwatch is a community scheme that allows trained volunteers to work alongside the police to monitor vehicle speeds in their local area. The aim is to raise awareness of speeding, encourage safer driving and help make local communities safer for everyone. Actioned 30 June 2026
Offences against public decency. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Shoker has carried out dedicated high-visibility patrols in the area to help prevent offences against public decency. These offences involve behaviour of a sexual or indecent nature carried out in public places that may cause alarm, distress or offence to others. Between 14 March 2026 and 10 June 2026, no offences of this type were reported in the area, compared to two reports during the previous period between 13 January 2026 and 14 March 2026. As part of ongoing prevention work, PC Shoker has been working with Dartford Borough Council's Parks Team to improve the management of the local area. This includes identifying ways to make areas less secluded and reduce opportunities for this type of offending to take place. Patrols and partnership work will continue to help keep the area safe and welcoming for residents and visitors. Actioned 30 June 2026
