Crime Prevention

The Parish Council works closely with the Kent Police Rural policing Team in trying to reduce the level of crime which fortunately is fairly low in the Village. Attendance at the Council meetings by 2 of the PCSO's from the Rural Crime team give Councillors regular updates.

Swale Borough Council and Kent County Council have regular meetings to ensure that Crime is dealt with in a fair and positive manner.

There are regular updates from the Police to each level of Government by the issue of general crime reports and to the general public through the release of regular newsletters which appear in our Newsletter page.

If you are in danger a silent 999 call can be made, please follow the procedures as below

Call 999 from a mobile:

If you don't speak or answer questions, press 55 when prompted and your call will be transferred to the police.

Pressing 55 only works on mobiles and doesn't allow the police to track your location.

If you don't press 55 your call will be ended.

Call 999 from a landline:

If you don't speak or answer questions and the operator can only hear background noise, they'll transfer your call to the police.

If you replace the handset, the landline may remain connected for 45 seconds in case you pick it up again.

Calling 999 from a landline automatically gives the police information about your location.
