Aylesford South & Ditton

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

Foot patrol around Aylesford and Ditton helps with reducing the number of calls that are received around antisocial behaviour. If suspects are identified then appropriate action is taken against them in relation to the offending. We have been working with local schools to provide support and guidance to those that may be causing issues in the community. Ways of diverting those involved are also being discussed with Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council to provide distractions and alternative entertainment to reduce the number of those hanging around causing problems in the evenings.

Road safety issues.

Issued 09 October 2025

Speed checks have been carried out by local officers in Aylesford to help make sure everyone using the roads is sticking to the limit and keeping the area safe.

Officers have also been visiting schools to talk about the safe and legal use of e‑scooters and e‑bikes. This helps students understand how to use them responsibly and avoid having them taken away if they’re being ridden illegally.

Actioned 19 January 2026

Noise disturbance.

Issued 09 October 2025

Noise issues are not generally a police issue, but can coincide with antisocial behaviour or other issues that are being reported. The Community Safety Unit work closely with the antisocial behaviour officer from Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council to deal with any issues that are affecting the community and can also enlist the help of their Environmental Health Team.
