Larkfield
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.

E-scooters/E-bikes. Issued 09 October 2025 |

Criminal damage. Issued 09 October 2025 |
Officers have looked into reports of catapults being used along a footpath near Tesco and remain in contact with the person who first reported it. When further reports came in about young people firing catapults, stop‑and‑search powers were used, leading to successful seizures. Officers then carried out follow‑up conversations to explain the risks and consequences, helping reduce the chances of the behaviour happening again. Actioned 19 January 2026 |
