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:

    Fly tipping.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    We have carried out joint days of action with Maidstone Borough Council's Waste Crime Team, targeting known fly-tipping hotspots, vehicles and offenders. Ongoing intelligence sharing between partner agencies is helping to identify those responsible and support positive enforcement action. This continued partnership working aims to deter environmental crime, identify repeat offenders and protect local communities from the impact of fly-tipping.

    Actioned 03 July 2026

  • Priority:

    Road safety issues.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Speedwatch has been carried out on several occasions on Pattenden Lane, Marden, in response to concerns about speeding. As a result, a number of Traffic Offence Reports (TORs) have been issued to drivers exceeding the speed limit. A TOR is a formal report issued when a driver is suspected of committing a road traffic offence and may result in a fine, driver education course or court action. Officers also seized a vehicle in Yalding after it was found to be being driven without insurance.

    High-visibility patrols have continued in identified hotspot areas, including the A228 and Old Whetsted Road, to address road safety concerns, deter offending and provide reassurance to local residents. Officers will continue to carry out patrols and enforcement activity where offences are identified.

    Actioned 03 July 2026

  • Priority:

    Catapults.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Local beat officers continue to respond to reports involving catapults and carry out high-visibility patrols in known hotspot areas. Where offenders are identified, appropriate action is taken to address their behaviour and prevent further incidents.

    Officers are also working closely with local housing providers to tackle repeat offending. Where appropriate, tenancy-related action is being considered, which has proved particularly effective in cases involving young people under the age of 16. This partnership approach helps address ongoing issues, support early intervention and reduce the impact of antisocial behaviour on the wider community.
