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.

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.
