About us

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:

    Rural Crime - Burglary & Theft

    Issued 10 March 2026

    Action taken:

    We continue to work closely with the Rural Crime Team and cross boarder officers in Kent to tackle offences such as farm machinery theft. Patrols have already been increased in the most affected areas, and officers have engaged directly with landowners and residents to provide tailored crime prevention advice.

    Our efforts remain focused on identifying offenders, protecting rural property, and maintaining a visible presence to deter further criminal activity. We’re committed to supporting the rural community and ensuring those responsible for these crimes are held to account.

    Actioned 28 June 2026

  • Priority:

    Anti-social behaviour

    Issued 10 March 2026

    Action taken:

    We are intensifying our efforts to tackle anti-social behaviour through targeted, high-visibility patrols in identified hotspot areas. Officers are proactively identifying individuals responsible and addressing their behaviour through a range of proportionate and preventative measures.
    These include delivering words of advice, building positive relationships with young people, engaging with parents and guardians, conducting community surveys to better understand local concerns, and issuing Community Protection Warnings (CPWs) where appropriate. This multi-faceted approach is designed to mitigate harm, prevent escalation, and provide early intervention.
