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.

Local Priority Issues

Priority Action taken

Antisocial behaviour - general.

Issued 09 October 2025

Regular patrols have taken place at the Recreation Ground following reports of drug use and graffiti. Officers continue to patrol the area both on foot and in vehicles. The number of calls to nuisance vehicles near New Hythe Lane remains low.

Actioned 19 January 2026

E-scooters/E-bikes.

Issued 09 October 2025

Officers attended Leybourne Lakes after reports of off‑road bikes causing problems. Although no bikes were found at the time, we shared information with the Warden so we can respond quickly if it happens again.

We’re also continuing to speak with anyone riding e‑scooters illegally. E‑scooters shouldn’t be used on public roads or paths, and officers will take action when offences are committed.

Actioned 19 January 2026

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
