As part of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) Week town team officers in Maidstone completed joint patrols with OneMaidstone town ambassadors.

We engaged with members of the public and businesses in relation to ASB. We are aware that one issue in the town centre is e-scooters. And today we seized our 88th e-scooter which will be crushed.

We also completed a joint patrol with the council and Kent Fire and Rescue in relation to youths climbing on roofs in the town centre. We used a drone to review roof access and will continue to work towards securing access points and making our town a safer space for everyone.

A car park that has been used to commit anti-social behaviour in town has been cleared after the owners were issued a community protection warning and steps are being taken to secure the car park too.

We know that these are just a few of the issues that effect the town centre, and we are working on long term projects to try to tackle ASB. #MakingCommunitiesSafer
