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 vehicles.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Nuisance vehicles remain an issue across Swanley, and local officers continue to carry out high-visibility patrols in affected areas. Where drivers or riders are identified, officers may issue Section 59 warnings and take further enforcement action when appropriate. A Section 59 warning is a legal warning issued when a vehicle is used in an antisocial manner, and further offending can result in the vehicle being seized.

    Speed checks are also planned in locations most affected by nuisance vehicle use to help deter dangerous and antisocial driving.

    Residents are encouraged to report any nuisance vehicle activity to Kent Police, either online or through their local neighbourhood officer, as information from the community helps officers target patrols and enforcement activity effectively. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with your local officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV).

    Actioned 02 July 2026

  • Priority:

    Drug offences.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    Police continue to patrol this ward regularly and make use of stop and search powers where there are lawful grounds to do so. During recent patrols, drugs have been found on several individuals and appropriate action has been taken in each case. Tackling drug-related activity remains a priority for the local neighbourhood team, and officers will continue to act on information provided by the public and take enforcement action where necessary.

    Residents are encouraged to report any concerns or suspicious activity, as information from the community plays a vital role in helping officers identify offenders and target patrols effectively. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with your local neighbourhood officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV).

    Actioned 02 July 2026

  • Priority:

    Fly-tipping.

    Issued 14 April 2026

    Action taken:

    There have been no reports of fly-tipping in the area during the past three months. Officers will continue to monitor the situation and work with partner agencies where appropriate. Residents are encouraged to report any incidents of fly-tipping or suspicious activity, as early reporting helps identify offenders and protect the local environment. To receive updates and stay in direct contact with your local neighbourhood officer, please join My Community Voice (MCV).
