Paddock Wood

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 27 October 2025

Officers have been working hard to reduce antisocial behaviour in the area. They have targeted problem behaviour, supported local businesses and given guidance on how to deal with issues as they arise. This work has led to several arrests and the issuing of Acceptable Behaviour Agreements to people involved in various incidents, including catapulting, nuisance vehicles and public order issues. An Acceptable Behaviour Agreement is a written agreement that sets out what behaviour must stop and what is expected from the individual to prevent further problems. We encourage the public to keep reporting these matters so we can continue to take action.

Actioned 26 January 2026
