The Maidstone Community Protection Team is committed to keeping  communities safe, as well as helping Maidstone Borough Council deliver one of their key priorities – a clean and safe environment for everyone.

The team deals with a wide variety of issues including noise pollution, anti-social behaviour  as well as mental health and self-neglect.
