North Downs West

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
Dog fouling. Issued 03 October 2025	Officers have been working with the district council to address dog‑fouling, as this responsibility sits with the local authority rather than the police. Joint initiatives include visible enforcement, easier access to bins and dog‑waste bags, clear public messaging and local campaigns to raise awareness. Potential measures such as installing additional CCTV, increasing the number of waste‑disposal bins and making design changes to deter fouling have also been identified for consideration. Actioned 19 January 2026
Antisocial behaviour. Issued 03 October 2025	Routine patrolling of local parks and green spaces has been conducted in response to concerns about antisocial behaviour. Officers have engaged with individuals within the community along with residents. Default patrol routes have been raised around the issues to deter and detect and prevent further issues. Actioned 19 January 2026
Noise disturbance. Issued 03 October 2025	Officers are working with the district council to address noise disturbances and related antisocial behaviour. Dedicated environmental health officers continue to attend incidents, assess noise levels and take enforcement action where necessary. They also provide advice and practical solutions to help residents manage and resolve issues. Police officers have continued to mediate and assist wherever possible to restore community harmony, particularly in cases where persistent noise problems have led to repeated complaints.
