Current Priorities

Issue

Antisocial behaviour - General.

Action

Hotspot patrols are being carried out, with officers working alongside partner agencies to use available tools and powers to address persistent and complex issues. A youth activity strategy is being developed and delivered in collaboration with partners. Educational sessions, including information on the misuse of catapults, are being delivered in schools and through the 'Safety in Action' event to inform and deter inappropriate behaviour.

Issue

Road safety issues.

Action

Speed enforcement is being carried out in areas identified as high-risk. Officers are supporting the deployment of Community Speedwatch and taking part in multi-agency road safety operations focused on the Fatal Four offences (speeding, drink/drug driving, mobile phone use, and not wearing seatbelts). Where appropriate, drivers and riders identified as risk are being referred to driving standards courses organised by Kent County Council. Schools are also being supported in delivering road safety awareness education.

Issue

Fly tipping.

Action

Multi-agency operations are being carried out to target offenders, with support provided to lead partner agencies in gathering intelligence and evidence. Visible patrols are also being conducted in risk locations to deter and respond to criminal activity.
