Antisocial behaviour.

Issued 08 October 2025

'Coffee with a cop' sessions and surgeries were held to give residents the chance to speak with their beat officer about any concerns. Updates were provided and safety advice was offered. High‑visibility and plain‑clothes patrols helped identify persistent offenders, which led to sanctions being issued under the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

In two separate cases, PC Daly has successfully obtained closure orders from the courts. A closure order allows the police or local council to restrict access to a property that is linked to ongoing crime or antisocial behaviour. Depending on the severity, the court can limit who is allowed to enter the property or close it completely for up to three months, helping to protect the community from further harm.

Drug dealing.

Issued 08 October 2025

PC Daly has been directing officers to focus on areas believed to be used for drug dealing. High‑visibility patrols have helped reduce drug use and dealing in the area. PC Daly has also shared details with the wider Neighbourhood Team so they can routinely pass through these locations as they travel to and from their own beats in Northfleet. Our Tactical Operations Department has also been passing through as part of their patrols.

This increased police presence has had a positive impact on reducing drug‑related activity in the area.

House burglary.

Issued 08 October 2025

PC Daly has shared burglary‑prevention advice through My Community Voice (MCV). MCV is a free two‑way engagement tool that allows residents to receive updates from their local officers and reply with their own information, concerns, or questions.

PC Daly has also worked with the local council and Highways Teams to make sure all street lighting is working. She has encouraged residents to think about installing home‑security doorbells or closed‑circuit television (CCTV) systems. She has also promoted the CCTV Register, which allows homeowners to tell us if they have doorbells or CCTV cameras that could help with police investigations.

As a team, we have increased uniformed patrols in the area. More crime‑prevention advice is available on the Kent Police website.
