  1. The History In 2012 the Policing & Crime Commissioner (PCC) Ann Barnes pledged in her election manifesto to introduce Police Contact Points (PCP), a fleet of marked vehicles to boost rural policing and make it easier for residents to access the services they need. The PCC vision for delivery is: • Visible community engagement, primarily in rural areas but also urban • Activities will take place over and above existing community engagements • Face-to-face interaction • Contact points will be staffed by someone who represents policing • Vehicles will show Kent Police livery • Day and evening availability including weekends • Not only visible through being seen, but through communications before and after the event and through local interaction • Provide a published, regular schedule and ensure commitment to attendance • Police Contact Points will not replace front counter functions

  2. Service Delivery Two marked Mercedes Sprinter vans (previously mobile police stations) will be used per division, each van will cover two districts. They will be used Wednesday to Sunday and visit three locations per day – fifteen locations per district. Details of the route and timings will be published on the Kent Police website and tweeted by the PCSO via Twitter accounts daily. Each visit will last 1 hour before the van will be required to leave for the next contact point location. Police Contact Points will offer local engagement, visibility, advice and signposting.

  3. Current Locations Note times: - 12 Midday 2pm 5pm

  4. Ways to Contact Police • PCP’s are in addition to the existing surgeries that PCSO’s undertake, these are published on the Kent Police Website and may already be in your Parish. • ‘Your Neighbourhood’ section of the Kent Police Website has a link to Neighbourhood email address and details of local PCSO’s. • 101 is a national number to contact police in a non emergency. • 999 if crime in progress or immediate threat to life.
