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.

Drink/drug driving. Issued 15 July 2026	This is a priority for the next 3 months. We have identified this based on feedback from local residents, crime data, and ongoing concerns in the area.

E-scooters/e-bikes. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Hills has been carrying out regular patrols across the area, both on foot and in marked police vehicles, to provide a visible presence and help keep people safe. As part of this activity, he has taken part in an operation which focuses on tackling the illegal use of e‑scooters and e‑bikes. This work has led to a number of unlawfully used e‑scooters being seized and removed. Seized vehicles are destroyed so they cannot be used again. Illegal use of e‑scooters and e‑bikes can present a risk to both riders and the public, particularly when used on roads and pavements without meeting legal requirements. Officers take this issue seriously and will continue to carry out targeted patrols and operations to address it. This ongoing approach combines visible patrols, enforcement and education to reduce antisocial behaviour and improve safety for the wider community. Residents are encouraged to continue sharing any concerns through local ward surgeries or My Community Voice (an online two-way messaging service used to report issues and receive updates).

Road safety issues. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Hills has carried out speed enforcement checks in areas including Palm Bay and North Foreland, using speed‑recording equipment to monitor traffic. During these checks, several vehicles were stopped for exceeding the speed limit. This activity supports concerns raised by local residents and confirms that speeding remains an issue in these areas. Further operations are planned, combining enforcement with education to improve driver behaviour and reduce speeding. This ongoing approach aims to make roads safer for everyone. Residents are encouraged to continue sharing concerns through local ward surgeries or My Community Voice (an online two-way messaging service used to report issues and receive updates). Actioned 30 June 2026
Highway obstructions. Issued 16 April 2026	PC Hills is taking a proactive approach to identifying and managing vehicle obstructions across the area. During patrols, he regularly assesses how parked or abandoned vehicles may affect pedestrians, road users and access for emergency services. Where issues are identified, he takes appropriate action or refers the matter to the local authority if it falls outside police responsibility. This ongoing work helps prevent risks, reduce nuisance and keep roads and public spaces safe. Residents are encouraged to continue reporting concerns through local ward surgeries or My Community Voice (an online two-way messaging service used to report issues and receive updates).
