Eastcliff

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.

Issued 03 November 2025

Drugs.

Issued 03 November 2025

Drug‑related issues continue to affect people both in public spaces and near their homes. Officers have delivered targeted leaflet drops to raise awareness of the legal consequences of drug offences. Acting on intelligence, we have visited problem addresses and carried out targeted stop checks, leading to the seizure of drugs and vehicles linked to criminal activity. We will continue working proactively to tackle the problem and keep the community safe.

Actioned 14 January 2026

Theft - shoplifting.

Issued 03 November 2025

Our town‑centre officers are responding quickly to shoplifting reports received through the 999 system and the Shop Safe radio network. Beat officers are also working closely with local businesses to gather evidence, helping ensure that suspects are brought before the courts with strong cases to support prosecution.
