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:

    Road safety issues.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    We have conducted high-visibility patrols in local villages to help keep roads safe. During these patrols, officers have used systems such as the Police National Computer and the DVLA to check that vehicles and drivers meet legal requirements. Vehicles have been stopped where needed, and drivers have been dealt with appropriately. We have also carried out checks along the A257 and will continue this work, with support from Kent Police’s Road Safety Unit in future operations.

    Actioned 10 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Dog fouling.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Dover District Council is the main organisation responsible for enforcing dog fouling offences. During our patrols, if officers see someone not cleaning up after their dog, they will speak to them and take their details. However, any formal enforcement action remains the responsibility of Dover District Council.

    Actioned 10 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Highway obstructions.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    We regularly receive reports about vehicles causing obstructions. These are first assessed by our Control Room and then by officers attending the scene. Unless there is a real and immediate risk to the public, Kent Police does not have the power to move vehicles from where they are parked. Untaxed vehicles are dealt with by the DVLA, while abandoned vehicles and those parked on yellow lines are managed by Dover District Council’s Parking Enforcement Team.
