Aylesham, Eythorne & Shepherdswell

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.

Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Nuisance motorcycles.

Issued 04 November 2025

We have carried out high‑visibility patrols in problem areas to locate and stop nuisance motorcycles. Officers have also completed vehicle checks, provided advice to riders, seized vehicles where necessary and dealt with offending riders through either a Court Summons or a Traffic Offence Report (TOR). A TOR is a formal notice used by police to record road‑traffic offences. It can lead to points on a licence, a fine, or a requirement to attend a driver‑education course, depending on the offence.

Actioned 19 January 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 04 November 2025

We have carried out high‑visibility patrols in the areas where concerns have been raised. When vehicles of concern have been identified, officers have stopped them and dealt with the drivers appropriately. We have also completed static vehicle checks, provided advice and education to drivers, and taken action against offenders through either a Court Summons or a Traffic Offence Report (TOR). A TOR is a formal notice used by police to record road‑traffic offences, and it can lead to penalties such as points on a licence, a fine or a driver‑education course, depending on the offence.

Off‑road motorcycles are regularly stopped and seized under the Road Traffic Act when they are used illegally or cause nuisance within the community.
