Penenden Heath

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.

Road safety issues. Issued 14 April 2026	Road safety remains a priority, and increased patrols have been carried out in response to concerns raised by residents. Community Speedwatch activity has taken place on Boxley Road and Sittingbourne Road to help monitor vehicle speeds and raise awareness of road safety issues.

Antisocial behaviour - general. Issued 14 April 2026	High-visibility patrols continue to help reduce antisocial behaviour in the area, and we are currently seeing fewer reports being made. Following an increase in nuisance vehicle incidents last summer, officers are prepared to respond robustly to any repeat issues this year. If you see motorcycles or other vehicles being ridden unlawfully on the Heath and it is safe to do so, please report as much information as possible, including descriptions, locations and any registration numbers. This information helps officers identify those responsible and take appropriate action. We will continue to patrol identified hotspot areas and respond to concerns raised by the community. Actioned 03 July 2026
Criminal damage. Issued 14 April 2026	Reports of criminal damage have remained relatively consistent, with two incidents reported in April 2026. These were isolated incidents, and suspects were identified in both cases. Officers will continue to monitor reports, investigate offences and take appropriate action where those responsible can be identified. Residents are encouraged to report any incidents or suspicious activity to help prevent further offences and support ongoing investigations. Actioned 03 July 2026
