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.

Priority:

Dog fouling.

Issued 22 April 2026

Action taken:

Concerns about dog fouling in the area have been recognised and shared with the appropriate local authority. Responsibility for dealing with and enforcing offences related to dog fouling sits with the local council, which has the powers to investigate reports and take action where necessary. Residents who have raised concerns have been directed to the council's reporting process and advice services so that issues can be dealt with by the relevant authority. Dog fouling can have a negative impact on public spaces, the local environment and public health, and reporting incidents helps the council identify problem areas and target its resources effectively. This partnership approach helps to keep the area clean, safe and welcoming for residents and visitors.

Priority:

Road safety issues.

Issued 22 April 2026

Action taken:

Various road safety operations have been carried out in the Gorrell ward to address concerns about speeding, unsafe driving and nuisance vehicles linked to antisocial behaviour. These operations have included speed enforcement checks and patrols in areas where vehicle-related nuisance and antisocial behaviour have been reported. Officers have also taken enforcement action against a range of driving offences. Multiple Traffic Offence Reports (TOR) have been issued for offences including speeding, using a mobile phone while driving, failing to wear a seatbelt and driving vehicles with defects that could affect safety. A TOR is a formal record created by police when someone is suspected of committing a road traffic offence and may result in a fixed penalty notice, a driver education course or a court appearance. This ongoing work aims to improve road safety, reduce antisocial behaviour and help make the area's roads safer for everyone.

Actioned 30 June 2026
Priority:

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

Issued 22 April 2026

Action taken:

Police have seen an increase in antisocial behaviour along the coast since the arrival of warmer weather, particularly around the Island Wall area of the beach. In response, officers have used dispersal powers on a number of occasions across Whitstable. A dispersal order allows police to direct people to leave an area for a set period of time if their behaviour is causing, or is likely to cause, antisocial behaviour or disorder. As a result, a number of individuals have been issued with dispersal notices. Officers have also confiscated significant amounts of alcohol from young people who were under the legal age to possess or consume it in public. Since May, additional officers have been deployed to tackle nuisance behaviour and provide reassurance to residents, visitors and local businesses, and this increased presence will continue throughout the summer months. Police are also working closely with local retailers to address reports of alcohol theft involving groups of young people, as this has been identified as a factor contributing to antisocial behaviour. In addition, partnership work is taking place with local organisations and agencies to reduce the issues being experienced around the West Beach Tennis Courts and improve the area for everyone who uses it.
