Current priorities
Drug dealing.
Officers have carried out search warrants in Strood (legal permission to search properties), targeting addresses linked to drug dealing. This work has led to arrests and the seizure of drugs, including a large quantity of amphetamine. Further searches resulted in additional arrests and drugs being taken off the streets. These actions help disrupt drug activity and make the community safer.

E-scooters and e-bikes.
E‑scooters and e‑bikes are a key concern for many residents. The Community Safety Unit is running operations across Medway to tackle unsafe and illegal use, seizing vehicles where necessary. Enforcement is focused in areas such as Strood High Street, where a zero‑tolerance approach is in place. This means all offences are dealt with, with regular seizures of e‑scooters and e‑bikes.
