Cliffsend and Pegwell

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.

Actioned 14 January 2026

E-scooters.

Issued 20 November 2025

Over the past three months, we’ve continued our proactive work to tackle the illegal use of e‑scooters, removing more than 50 from our roads. E‑scooters remain illegal to use on public roads, pavements and cycle lanes, and can only be ridden on private land with the landowner’s permission. We’ll continue taking action to keep the area safe.

Actioned 14 January 2026

Dog fouling.

Issued 20 November 2025

We recognise that dog fouling affects residents’ quality of life and can spoil the pathways in the area. PC Howe has raised the issue with partner agencies and requested increased monitoring to help prevent further problems.
