Youth involved in disruptive activities.

Beat officers have engaged with a number of young people and are working alongside the Child Centred Policing Team to offer suitable youth diversion opportunities, such as the West Faversham Community Centre Youth Club. The local policing team is also collaborating with schools to support extracurricular activities and, where necessary, to help identify young people involved in this type of behaviour.

Nuisance vehicles.

A Section 34 Dispersal Order is regularly implemented and publicised through local media to deter nuisance vehicles. This order gives police additional powers to direct individuals to leave a specified area if their behaviour is likely to cause harassment, alarm, or distress. It serves as both a preventative measure and an enforcement tool to address ongoing issues with nuisance vehicles.

Damage to property.

Patrols have been increased in key locations, with joint working alongside Swale Borough Council to address incidents of property damage.
