Alkham & Capel-le-Ferne
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

Fly tipping. Issued 14 April 2026 |
We are carrying out targeted patrols in known fly-tipping hotspots, where rubbish is often dumped illegally. We are also working closely with Dover District Council to make sure waste is removed quickly, helping us spot locations where the problem keeps happening. The council is reviewing CCTV (security camera) footage with enforcement teams to help identify people and vehicles linked to fly-tipping, so evidence can be gathered and action taken. Actioned 10 June 2026 |

Road safety issues. Issued 14 April 2026 |
We have carried out proactive work to improve road safety, including working with local volunteer Speedwatch groups. These are community groups who help monitor vehicle speeds and raise awareness about safe driving. We plan to continue working alongside them in the future. We have also carried out targeted patrols to deal with nuisance motorcycles and antisocial behaviour. This work has resulted in three people being arrested and charged. Actioned 10 June 2026 |

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance. Issued 14 April 2026 |
We have carried out targeted patrols in response to concerns about antisocial behaviour in hotspot areas. Several people have been spoken to about repeated behaviour, and these conversations have taken place in the presence of their parents to help address the issue and prevent it from happening again. Actioned 10 June 2026 |
