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.

Violence against women and girls (VAWG). Issued 15 April 2026	Officers from the Medway Community Safety Unit play an important role in identifying and locating people suspected of offences linked to violence against women and girls. Violence against women and girls includes a range of offences such as domestic abuse, stalking, harassment, sexual offences and other forms of violence or intimidation. Officers work proactively to locate suspects, make arrests where appropriate and support ongoing investigations. This activity helps protect victims, reduce the risk of further offending and ensure that those suspected of committing offences are brought before the courts whenever possible. Protecting women and girls from violence and abuse remains a key policing priority, and officers continue to work with partner agencies to support victims and improve community safety. Actioned 30 June 2026
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance and catapults. Issued 15 April 2026	Local officers are working closely with businesses to identify young people involved in antisocial behaviour in the area. Antisocial behaviour includes actions that cause nuisance, alarm or distress to others, such as disorderly behaviour, vandalism or persistent disruptive conduct. Information shared by businesses helps officers build a clearer picture of the issues affecting the community and identify those responsible. When individuals are identified, officers may carry out visits to their home address to speak with them and their families, provide advice and support, and take any appropriate enforcement action. This approach helps to address problems at an early stage, prevent further incidents and improve the quality of life for local residents, businesses and visitors. Actioned 30 June 2026
E-scooters and e-bikes and nuisance motorcycles. Issued 15 April 2026	Local officers have visited schools in the area to educate children and young people about the safe and legal use of e-scooters and e-bikes. These sessions help raise awareness of the laws that apply to these vehicles, as well as the potential safety risks associated with using them incorrectly. In addition, officers from the Medway Community Safety Unit have carried out a targeted operation to tackle the unlawful use of e-scooters and e-bikes. During the operation, several scooters were seized and riders were dealt with for a range of driving offences. This combination of education and enforcement helps to improve road safety, reduce antisocial behaviour and address concerns raised by local residents. Officers will continue to work with schools, families and the wider community to encourage safe and responsible use of these vehicles. Actioned 30 June 2026
