Beat officer update

Beat officer update

Hello everyone,

As your Beat Officer for Nethercourt, Cliffsend and Pegwell, I wanted to provide an update on some of the work I've been involved in over the past two weeks as we head into the winter months.

Road Safety

Alongside fellow Beat Officers, I recently took part in a day of speed enforcement across the Margate and Ramsgate areas. As a result, three Traffic Offence Reports were issued for speeding offences.

Road safety remains a key priority for Kent Police and is an issue regularly raised by local residents. We will continue to carry out patrols and enforcement activity to help keep our roads safe.

Responding to Incidents

Over the past two weeks, I have attended 19 emergency (999) incidents across Thanet. These have included a wide range of calls, from domestic-related incidents to reports of anti-social behaviour and drug use in communal areas.

Where appropriate, positive outcomes have been secured and robust action taken to address offences and safeguard those involved.

Rural Crime Prevention

On Friday 13th, a colleague and I held a property marking and item-tagging event in St Nicholas-at-Wade. The event aimed to help residents protect valuable items such as work tools, lawnmowers and mobility scooters by adding additional security and identification measures.

The event was well attended and received positive feedback from local residents. If this is something that would interest your community, please get in touch and I will look at arranging a similar event in your area.

Community Surgery

My next community surgery will take place outside Cliffsend Village Hall at 10:30am on Tuesday 24th November. Please feel free to come along with any concerns, questions or local issues you would like to discuss.

Thank you for your continued support. I hope you are all well, and I look forward to seeing you soon.
