New Romney — Neighbourhood Policing Team

Road safety.

Officers have issued a number of Traffic Offence Reports (TOR) have been issued to drivers for a range of road traffic offences identified during patrols and enforcement activity. A TOR is a formal record created when someone is suspected of committing a road traffic offence and may result in a fixed penalty notice, a driver education course or a court appearance. In addition, multiple vehicles have been seized after checks revealed they were being driven without valid vehicle tax or insurance. Officers will continue to carry out proactive patrols and enforcement activity to improve road safety, deter offending and address concerns raised by the local community.

Antisocial behaviour - nuisance.

PCs Hockless and Putland have identified a number of young people involved in antisocial behaviour within the area and have carried out face-to-face visits to address concerns directly. Antisocial behaviour includes actions that cause nuisance, alarm or distress to others, such as disorderly behaviour, vandalism and persistent disruptive conduct. Through early intervention, engagement with those involved and support from parents and guardians, there has been a reduction in the number of reported incidents. Officers continue to work closely with families to address concerns and prevent further offending. High-visibility foot and vehicle patrols remain in place across the area to provide reassurance, deter antisocial behaviour and maintain a visible police presence within the community.

Fraud.

We continue to use My Community Voice (MCV) to share fraud prevention advice and warn residents about current scams, rogue traders and other forms of fraud. MCV members also receive updates from specialist fraud teams, including practical guidance on how to avoid becoming a victim and what signs to look out for. PCs Hockless and Putland are always happy to provide advice and reassurance to anyone who believes they may have been targeted by fraud or is concerned that someone is attempting to scam them. If you believe you have been a victim of fraud, you should report it to Action Fraud, the UK's national fraud and cyber crime reporting service. Officers will continue to raise awareness, share crime prevention advice and support residents in protecting themselves from fraud and scams.
