Headcorn & Sutton Valence
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 |
|---|---|
|
Antisocial behaviour - nuisance. Issued 03 November 2025 |
High visibility patrols have been conducted in The High Street, Kings Oak Estate, and East Sutton. Working with the Parish Council and utilising their new CCTV, we have obtained images of suspects who are still being identified. Actioned 23 January 2026 |
|
Road safety issues Issued 03 November 2025 |
We continue to act on road traffic concerns reported by residents, resulting in seizures of vehicles for no tax and no insurance. High visibility patrols have led to numerous Traffic Offence Reports for offences including speeding, no insurance, and disqualified driving. A Traffic Offence Report (TOR) is a form given to a driver when we believe a driving offence has taken place. It allows the case to be reviewed and can lead to a fine, points on a licence, a training course or, in some cases, a court appearance. Actioned 23 January 2026 |
|
Theft - shoplifting. Issued 03 November 2025 |
We are building stronger relationships with local stores and businesses to encourage reporting of thefts. Parish CCTV has again been utilised to obtain images of suspects involved. Actioned 23 January 2026 |
