Crime Reporting

There have been recent updates to the Kent Police website, including the online crime reporting facility.

While we hope that members of the Parish do not have the need to use the website, it is recommended should you need to report crime such as non-injury collisions, fraud or hate crime. It takes roughly 10 minutes to report the crime and you will be sent a confirmation email with your reference number detailed within.
