Maidstone Community Safety Unit is committed to providing a 1st class service to the residents and community in Marden.  We are aware of some the issues you have experienced in particular with regards to Anti-Social Behaviour in the area and are working hard with partners to address these.  Support and intervention plans have been put in place for those identified as being involved and this is subject to continuous assessment and monitoring.  I would urge residents to continue to report such incidents so that an accurate picture is represented and incidents can be responded to appropriately.

For all emergencies dial 999

101 is the new Police non-emergency number.  101 is the number to call when you want to contact your local police - when it is less urgent than a 999 call.  101 is available 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

When to call 101: you should call 101 to report less urgent crime and disorder or to speak to your local officers.  For example you should call 101 if your car has been stolen; your property has been damaged; you suspect drug use or dealing in your neighbourhood or to report a minor traffic collision; give the police information about crime in your area or to speak to the police about a general enquiry.
