Current priorities
Hate Crime
We take all forms of hate crime and abuse seriously. Through intelligence-led policing and close work with our local communities, we’re working towards helping to educate and challenge harmful attitudes, making clear that hate has no place in our community.
Set: 2026-06-10
Residential Burglary
We are actively working with intelligence-led information to identify those responsible for recent burglaries in the area. In response, patrols have been increased and we are working with Kent police to identify suspects. We are also providing a visible reassurance and to engage directly with residents, sharing key advice on how to keep your home and personal belongings safe.
