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.

Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 09 October 2025

There have been some issues with groups of young people causing problems in Kings Hill, particularly around Halloween. Because of this, extra police officers were on duty on Halloween to help prevent antisocial behaviour. Their presence had a positive impact and reduced both the number of calls we received and the problems reported in the neighbourhood.

Officers have also sent warning letters to some of the young people involved. These letters helped stop the behaviour from happening again and reminded them of the impact their actions have on the community.

Actioned 19 January 2026

E-scooters and/or nuisance bikes.

Issued 09 October 2025

E-scooters are illegal to ride in public. This message continues to be shared via social media and in person to those that are found riding them. We will continue to seize them and educate those that believe they are above the law. Officers will regularly patrol the centre of Kings Hill around Asda and deal with anyone found riding nuisance bikes or scooters with words of advice, tickets or seizure.

Actioned 19 January 2026

Road safety issues.

Issued 09 October 2025

Speed checks have been carried out in Kings Hill, resulting in a significant number of tickets being issued, vehicles being seized, and drivers being reported for offences. We will continue to take firm action against drivers who should not be on the road, whether this is due to drug or alcohol use or because their licence has been suspended.

Speeding remains a serious issue, and the proactive work of the beat team has already helped reduce the problems being seen in the area.
