Register your CCTV and doorbell cameras to help keep our community safe

Kent Police needs your support – register your CCTV and doorbell cameras to help keep our community safe.

The Kent and Essex CCTV registry is a secure online platform. By registering, you can help Kent Police and Essex Police identify potential CCTV or video evidence following an incident.

If an incident happens where your video evidence may help in an investigation, an officer from Kent Police or Essex Police will contact you and send you an email or text with a link for you to upload the relevant footage to our system.

Stay safe and have a happy Halloween

Not everyone enjoys or wants to take part in Halloween. If you would rather not have trick or treaters call at your home, you can download Kent Police’s ‘no trick or treat’ sign for your front door or window.

If you have young children:

  • never let them go trick or treating on their own – make sure that an adult stays with them at all times
  • make sure they only visit people known to your family
  • if there aren’t decorations or pumpkins outside someone’s house they’re probably not celebrating, so it’s best not to knock

If you have teenagers:

  • if there aren’t decorations or pumpkins outside someone’s house they’re probably not celebrating, so it’s best not to knock
  • make sure they are not going to be using alcohol or play a trick on someone using flour or eggs
  • make it clear that if a ‘no trick or treat’ sign is displayed, they should leave straight away
  • advise them to stay in a group and never go into the home of someone they don’t know
  • make sure they know not to frighten people
Need help?

Please only call 999 in an emergency. You can report a non-urgent incident or crime online

Working with Kent Police

Partnership working is an essential part of our job at the Town Council. We help bring agencies and organisations together and communicate regularly so that we can help improve outcomes for our community.

One of those partners is Kent Police, and we were delighted to recently welcome Chief Super Mr Loudon and Edenbridge’s beat officer PC Harry Kemp to the Council office when they visited Edenbridge for a walk around.

Residents are also welcome and encouraged to come along to the next community safety partnership meeting (PACT)  Monday 22 July, 2 pm at Rickards Hall.

Find out about Neighbourhood Watch in your area

Are you interested in finding out whether there is a Neighbourhood Watch scheme running near you, or perhaps you are keen to set up a new scheme?

There a number of schemes currently operating in Edenbridge – to learn more, or to set up a new scheme, please email the NHW Liaison Officer: 61170@kent.police.uk

What is Neighbourhood Watch?

Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) is a partnership between the police, community safety departments, and above all, individuals and families who wish to make their neighbourhoods better places to live.

Each scheme has a coordinator – it is their responsibility to act as the main point of contact within their scheme, to share information and to encourage members to circulate and implement crime prevention advice (provided by the police) and report suspicious incidents.                       

NHW scheme objectives include:

•         Reducing crime and the opportunities for crime
•         Helping and reassuring those who live in fear of crime
•         An increased sense of community.
•         Helping to improve the local environment

Register a new scheme

Email: 61170@kent.police.uk

A NHW scheme doesn’t have to take up much time and can cover just the street/road/close you live in, or a whole village! It’s completely up to the coordinator.

When you have registered an interest in setting up a scheme, your NHW Liaison Officer will provide you with a welcome pack with some suggestions on how to get started.

You will receive:

•         A template NHW invitation to distribute to local households
•         A template welcome letter for new members
•         A NHW Members Guide
•         Top tips for running a NHW scheme
•         How to set up a NHW WhatsApp group
