Local Priorities

Burglary

Issued: 12 Mar 2026

Status Update

Additional daytime and evening patrols are being carried out in rural areas with the Rural Crime Team and officers from across the boarder in Kent. We will continue to assess vulnerabilities and gather intelligence. These are supported by targeted operations aimed at deterring and disrupting theft.

We also continue to provide regular crime prevention advice to residents, farmers, and local businesses, focusing on improving security and implementing target hardening measures to reduce the risk of theft.

Actioned: 28 Jun 2026

Speeding

Issued: 11 Mar 2026

Status Update

We continue to take firm and proactive steps to address concerns around speeding in the area. Targeted patrols and speed enforcement operations, working with Community Speed Watch, have been carried out in known hotspot locations, particularly those identified through community feedback and collision data. We have been using speed detection equipment to monitor driver behaviour, resulting in a number of warnings and enforcement actions, including fixed penalty notices and referrals for further investigation.
Our work is not limited to enforcement alone. We’ve also engaged with local residents and community groups to raise awareness of the dangers of speeding and promote safer driving habits. Educational campaigns and visibility of patrols have helped reinforce the message that speeding will not be tolerated.

Actioned: 28 Jun 2026

Anti-social behaviour

Issued: 10 Mar 2026

Status Update

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.
