Inspector Praises Joint Police Effort
“This was a successful operation which saw a number of outstanding offenders targeted, as well as people being arrested for criminal activity while officers patrolled the town,”
said Inspector Sarah Rivett of Dartford Community Safety Unit.
“We work hard to target offenders and reduce crime and disorder in the town, and this was a great example of how a joined-up approach with our partners can yield positive results.”
