NORTH Kent police's area commander took to the streets to discuss neighbourhood safety with the public.

Area commander Chief Superintendent Ali Roden led a street surgery in Dartford’s high street on September 2, to find out what residents want from their neighbourhood police team.

She said: “Our achievements been built on working with our communities and partners and over the last four years we have had much success in reducing crime and bringing offenders to justice.

“I was delighted to hear that many of those I spoke to did in fact know who their local officer was and how to get in contact with him or her.”

Anyone who was unable to attend the surgery but would like to have their say can email northkentcommander@kent.pnn.police.uk
