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.

Dog fouling. Issued 14 April 2026 |
Dog fouling has been identified as a key concern in the Eastry ward, as it affects the cleanliness of public spaces and how much people can enjoy the area.
