Brent
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.
Report crime
Please do not contact neighbourhood officers to report crime.
If it's not an emergency, the easiest way to contact us is online. Your report will be sent direct to our control room where it will be reviewed by the same team who answer our calls.

Local Priority Issues
| Priority | Action taken |
|---|---|
|
Antisocial behaviour. Issued 08 October 2025 |
We held 'coffee with a cop' sessions and local surgeries, giving residents the chance to meet their beat officer, receive updates and get safety advice. Officers also carried out both high‑visibility and plain‑clothes patrols. This helped us identify persistent offenders and take action under the Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. Actioned 19 January 2026 |
|
Road safety issues. Issued 08 October 2025 |
Officers have been working with the Dartford Borough Council Enforcement Team to deal with problem parking in the area. The vehicle owners have been identified, and drivers have been spoken to and advised to stop parking in these locations. This is an ongoing issue and will continue to be monitored. Actioned 19 January 2026 |
|
Drug dealing. Issued 08 October 2025 |
We have increased patrols in the area, both on foot and in marked and unmarked police vehicles. Officers have carried out stop checks on people of interest, and we have been gathering intelligence to build a clearer picture of what is happening locally. Once all the information has been reviewed, our Neighbourhood Task Force will take the appropriate action. Actioned 19 January 2026 |
