CSU

The Community Safety Unit (CSU) consists of Council Staff, Police, Community Wardens, Housing Associations and other partner agencies. The CSU deals with all aspects of ASB and community safety. If you have a problem that you would like the CSU to get involved with then please contact us.

Partners meet on a daily basis to discuss Community Safety Concerns, Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) calls that have come in from residents and partner agencies including the Police.

The CSU have been working with local Cllrs, Parish Council and local residents on the recent issues at the river at Franks Bridge and motorbikes across Horton Kirby and have meet to look at what actions can be taken forward.

Its important for the CSU to receive reports from residents on the issues that are arising so that we can work together to tackle local concerns.

Please be assured that all information is treated in confidence and will never be disclosed to individuals identified as causing anti social behaviour. We will also keep your details anonymous if you prefer, when discussing with partner agencies.

There are a number of ways to report ASB

Kent Police

  • 999 if you are witnessing or part of an incident that is happening

  • 101 to report after an incident has happened

  • Online www.kent.police.uk/ There is also a live chat section on this page

Residents can also join Kent Police My Community Voice via https://www.kent.police.uk/advice/advice-and-information/wsi/watch-schemes-initiatives/kent/my-community-voice/ This is a two way engagement tool that allows residents to inform Kent Police of their local issues.
