Twydall

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.

Alcohol. Issued 15 April 2026	Officers have started issuing Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) to people whose behaviour is having a negative impact on the local community, particularly in relation to alcohol-related disorder and antisocial behaviour in the Twydall Green area. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning that can be issued when someone's behaviour is causing ongoing problems for local residents or businesses. If the behaviour continues, further enforcement action can be taken. Officers will continue to identify and engage with individuals responsible for these issues, and additional warnings will be issued where appropriate. As part of wider efforts to tackle alcohol-related antisocial behaviour, officers have also visited local shops to check that alcohol licensing rules are being followed. These checks found that businesses were complying with the law and were not selling alcohol to people who appeared to be drunk. This ongoing work helps to reduce antisocial behaviour, support local businesses and improve safety within the community. Actioned 30 June 2026
E-scooters and e-bikes. Issued 15 April 2026	Local officers have carried out a targeted operation in Twydall to tackle the unlawful use of e-scooters and e-bikes. During the operation, several e-scooters were seized and appropriate action was taken where offences were identified. Alongside enforcement activity, officers spoke with people using e-scooters and e-bikes to explain the laws that apply to these vehicles and provide advice on how to use them safely and legally. 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 carry out patrols and targeted operations to identify unlawful vehicle use and take appropriate action where necessary. Actioned 30 June 2026
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance and drug taking. Issued 15 April 2026	Officers have begun issuing Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) to people identified as causing antisocial behaviour that is having a negative impact on the local community. A Community Protection Warning is a formal warning that can be issued when someone's behaviour is causing ongoing problems for residents or businesses. If the behaviour continues, further enforcement action can be taken. Officers will continue to identify those involved and consider additional measures where appropriate to help prevent further issues. As part of ongoing patrols, officers also use stop and search powers where there are legal grounds to suspect someone may be involved in drug-related activity. A stop and search allows officers to search a person for prohibited items or evidence of criminal activity. This proactive approach helps to tackle antisocial behaviour, address drug-related concerns and improve community safety. Actioned 30 June 2026
