Internet/cybercrime.

Issued 05 November 2025

Kent Police continue to strengthen public confidence in tackling internet and cyber‑crime by delivering proactive community engagement across the district. Local officers are visiting community groups, supported living accommodations, and other key locations to provide fraud‑prevention talks and up‑to‑date scam awareness advice. This work is carried out in partnership with Kent County Council Warden Service and Kent Police’s Fraud Prevention Coordinator, ensuring residents receive the latest guidance to help keep themselves safe online. Details of upcoming sessions are shared in the monthly community newsletter, and members of the public are encouraged to get in touch with suggestions for venues or groups that would benefit from a future presentation.

Road safety issues.

Issued 05 November 2025

To strengthen public confidence in road safety, local officers have carried out mobile handheld speed enforcement in Walmer, issuing several tickets and giving targeted advice to drivers. The Community Speedwatch Team, made up of dedicated local volunteers, continues to provide a strong visible deterrent through their monitoring.

Officers are also maintaining high‑visibility patrols on foot and on marked police pedal cycles, demonstrating our active commitment to safer roads and responding directly to community concerns.

In addition, joint operations with the Roads Policing Unit are planned to tackle known problem areas (speed, seatbelts, mobile phone use) to reassure compliant drivers and deter poor behaviour.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 05 November 2025

To tackle nuisance antisocial behaviour, local officers are conducting regular mobile patrols in affected areas, both on foot and using marked police pedal cycles, providing a visible and proactive policing presence. We continue to encourage the community to report locations where nuisance behaviour is occurring, as this helps us target our patrols effectively. In addition, we work closely with our external partners, including CCTV operators and Dover District Council’s Community Safety Unit, which allows us to address persistent issues more robustly and deliver long‑term improvements for the community.
