Bourne
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 |
|---|---|

Fly tipping. Issued 09 October 2025 |
We have not received any recent reports of fly‑tipping, and nothing significant has been seen during patrols. However, this does not mean it is not happening. We rely on information from residents, so if you see any fly‑tipping, please report it so we can work together to tackle the problem. Actioned 19 January 2026 |

Nuisance motorbikes. Issued 09 October 2025 |
There have been a minimal number of calls about nuisance motorbikes, and this type of behaviour is usually more common over the summer. However, officers continue to patrol the area, and any nuisance bikes that are seen and can be safely stopped will be spoken to, with any offences dealt with appropriately. Issues on the Fairlawn Estate have also reduced over the past couple of months, which is a positive step for the community. Actioned 19 January 2026 |

Drink/drug driving. Issued 09 October 2025 |
We’ve carried out speed checks and stopped vehicles in the area to respond to residents’ concerns. Parking issues in Hildenborough have improved and appear to have settled down. Looking ahead, we plan to run evening speed checks to help tackle drink and drug driving and keep the roads safer for everyone. Actioned 19 January 2026 |
