Sheerness

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.

Ebike/e-scooter.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have carried out targeted high-visibility and plain-clothed patrols in response to concerns raised by the community regarding the illegal use of e-scooters within the area. Using information provided by residents, officers have undertaken proactive operations to identify riders using e-scooters unlawfully or in an antisocial manner. Positive enforcement action has been taken, with a number of e-scooters seized and riders dealt with where offences have been identified. Officers continue to patrol hotspot locations, engage with the community, and gather intelligence to support ongoing enforcement and improve safety for residents and other road users.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Catapults.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have continued to investigate all reports received, conduct targeted patrols in identified hotspot locations, and review CCTV opportunities where available. Enquiries have led to individuals being identified and appropriate action being taken. Officers have also continued to engage with young people and their families to educate them on the consequences of this behaviour. This ongoing activity has helped reduce incidents and reassure residents that concerns are being taken seriously.

Actioned 30 September 2026

Nuisance youths.

Issued 21 July 2026

Officers have maintained proactive patrols in locations identified through community feedback and previous reports, particularly during peak times when incidents are more likely to occur. Through engagement with young people, local businesses, schools, and partner agencies, officers have been able to identify those involved in antisocial behaviour and intervene at an early stage. Where necessary, positive action has been taken, while education and engagement have been used to prevent repeat offending. This continued approach has helped reduce antisocial behaviour, provide reassurance to residents, and strengthen relationships between young people and the wider community.
