Cliftonville East

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.

Antisocial behaviour - general. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Hills is carrying out regular patrols across the area, both on foot and in marked police vehicles. This helps him cover different locations, see where issues are happening and speak directly with residents, workers and visitors. A visible police presence also helps reassure the community and deter crime. During these patrols, a range of issues have been identified and dealt with. These include rough sleeping, nuisance or unsafe driving, and groups of young people involved in antisocial behaviour. Officers have taken action where offences were identified and provided advice and support to help prevent problems from escalating. Patrols are also focused on areas where incidents have previously been reported, helping to disrupt repeat issues and prevent further harm. Speaking with residents is a key part of this work, allowing officers to understand local concerns and build trust within the community. This ongoing approach combines visibility, prevention and enforcement to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour and keep the area safe. Residents are encouraged to continue sharing their concerns through local ward surgeries or via My Community Voice (an online two-way messaging service used to report issues and to receive updates). Actioned 30 June 2026
Road safety issues. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Hills has carried out targeted speed enforcement in areas such as Palm Bay and North Foreland using speed‑measuring equipment. During this work, several vehicles were stopped for exceeding the speed limit, confirming concerns raised by local residents that speeding remains an ongoing issue in these areas. Officers will continue to carry out further traffic operations, combining enforcement with education to encourage safer driving and reduce risk on local roads. Residents are encouraged to keep sharing their concerns through local ward surgeries or My Community Voice (an online two-way messaging service used to report issues and receive updates).
