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.
Report crime
Please do not contact neighbourhood officers to report crime.
If it's not an emergency, the easiest way to contact us is online. Your report will be sent direct to our control room where it will be reviewed by the same team who answer our calls.

Local Priority Issues
| Priority | Action taken |
|---|---|
|
Road safety issues. Issued 19 November 2025 |
We have been patrolling the area and dealing with any traffic offences we find. This includes giving out Traffic Offence Reports (TOR) and using our police powers when needed. A TOR is a formal report given to a driver when a road traffic law has been broken. It can lead to a fine, points on a driving licence, or a driver awareness course, depending on the offence. We have also been using the speed camera and working with Speedwatch volunteers to check how fast people are driving. We are working with our partners to help make the roads safer for everyone. Actioned 21 January 2026 |

E-Scooter/E-Bikes. Issued 19 November 2025 |
We have been carrying out high‑visibility patrols in the area and are working with the community to find out where e‑scooters are being kept. This helps us identify who owns them and deal with any offences. We have given out Section 59 warnings, and some scooters have been seized. A Section 59 warning is a formal notice given when a vehicle is used in a way that is careless, inconsiderate, or causes alarm, distress, or annoyance. The warning lasts for 12 months, and if the same person or vehicle behaves in the same way again, the police can seize the vehicle. We are now planning an operation to help reduce nuisance vehicles in the area. Actioned 21 January 2026 |

Antisocial behaviour. Issued 19 November 2025 |
We have been carrying out high‑visibility patrols in the area. This helps us find the people responsible for antisocial behaviour and deal with any offences we discover. We are using our antisocial behaviour powers when needed and are working closely with Medway Housing. We have also issued Community Protection Warnings and Community Protection Notices. A Community Protection Warning tells someone that their behaviour is causing problems and must stop. If they ignore the warning, a Community Protection Notice can then be given. This is a legal notice that requires them to stop the behaviour or take steps to prevent it happening again. Actioned 21 January 2026 |
