Current priorities
Nuisance motorcycles/vehicles.
Officers are carrying out regular patrols on Knockhall Road, where most reports of nuisance vehicles have been linked. We are also working with Dartford Borough Council through joint visits to support ongoing action and help reduce these issues.
Set: 2026-04-16
Antisocial behaviour - general.
A police-led multi-agency operation to tackle antisocial behaviour (ASB) was carried out in Swanscombe, with extra patrols in Greenhithe and Knockhall. Officers visited areas where issues had been reported and spoke to young people found gathering. Details were recorded and any necessary follow-up action is being progressed as part of ongoing work.
Set: 2026-04-16
Parking.
Additional patrols in areas affected by poor parking have led to a reduction in reports. PC Hodge and PCSO Mitchell will continue this work to help keep roads safe and accessible.
