About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    Nuisance motorcycles.

    Issued 20 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We have seen an increase in reports of nuisance motorbike activity during the summer months. In response, officers have been carrying out patrols in areas where concerns have been raised by local residents.

    These patrols have included high-visibility foot patrols and engagement with residents to better understand the issues affecting the community. Information provided by local people is helping officers identify patterns, target activity and build a clearer picture of where problems are occurring.

    We recognise the impact that nuisance motorbike use can have on local communities and are committed to addressing these concerns. Further enforcement activity is being planned to tackle the issue and help reduce the disruption and risk caused by this behaviour.

    We encourage residents to continue reporting incidents and sharing information, as this helps us direct resources to the areas where they are needed most.

    Actioned 30 September 2026

  • Priority:

    Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

    Issued 20 July 2026

    Action taken:

    We have received reports of antisocial behaviour involving groups of young people in the area. In response, local officers have been carrying out regular high-visibility patrols to provide reassurance to residents, deter further incidents and identify those responsible.

    Officers are also working closely with the local community and partner organisations to better understand the issues being experienced and find long-term solutions. Information provided by residents helps us identify patterns of behaviour, focus patrols where they are needed most and take appropriate action when necessary.

    Actioned 30 September 2026

  • Priority:

    Drug dealing.

    Issued 20 July 2026

    Action taken:

    Kent Police have received reports of suspected drug dealing in the area and are working with partner organisations to disrupt criminal activity and keep local communities safe.

    In response to concerns raised by residents, officers have increased patrols in locations where issues have been reported. These patrols provide a visible police presence, help gather information and deter those involved in criminal activity.

    Tackling drug-related crime remains a priority, and we will continue to work with partners and local communities to identify offenders and take appropriate action. Information provided by the public plays an important role in helping us target resources and respond effectively.

    We encourage anyone with information about suspected drug dealing or other criminal activity to report it to Kent Police. Information can also be provided anonymously through Crimestoppers.
