Hay and Glasbury

Inspector Steve Thomas joined Dyfed-Powys Police in July 1999 and started his police career in Pembroke Dock.  In 2001 he transferred to Llanelli where he enjoyed working as a response officer, a Detective constable and Sergeant of CID.

He has also worked as a Sergeant in Section Stations and is fully aware of community issues that concern members of the public. In June 2010 he was promoted to Inspector and is committed to working with the communities of Breconshire.

I joined Dyfed Powys Police in April 1985 and have served in the county of Powys at Brecon, Newtown and Ystradgynlais Police Stations. I have worked within the Road Traffic Department, as a Custody Sergeant and as a Response Sergeant.

I have now undertaken the role of Neighbourhood Management Sergeant for Breconshire and will work alongside my colleague Sergeant Adele Pitt. This is a new role that will provide support to the existing Neighbourhood Management Teams within Breconshire.

Being a local person who was educated at Brecon High School I am keen to work with the communities of Breconshire and provide a service that addresses the issues that have been identified as being of concern to each community. This will be achieved with the support of our partners with whom we have already built an excellent working relationship.

I joined Dyfed-Powys Police in 1997 and previously served in Llanelli and in Crosshands as a Traffic Officer, before, moving to Powys as custody Sergeant in Newtown. I have now undertaken the role of Neighbourhood Management Sergeant for Breconshire and work alongside my colleague Sergeant Rod Bowen.

I am committed to ensuring the success of the Neighbourhood Management Team in Breconshire, where I will be tackling the issues affecting local communities. This important work will be delivered along with partnership agencies, which will ensure that the area remains one of the safest places to live, work and visit in England and Wales.

We have a highly-professional Neighbourhood Management Team in Breconshire and I am confident that we have the skills and excellent community relationships to achieve outstanding results.

PC Fean Thomas has over twenty years’ service, working in North Yorkshire and Essex police before transferring to Dyfed Powys in January 2001. He joined Hay on Wye in November 2001, and became the beat manager in July 2006. He has an additional role as a Wildlife and Environmental Crime Officer and has had specialised training in wildlife and environmental crime. He enjoys working in this busy and popular area - Hay is one of the most visited places by tourists in Wales and is at times very cosmopolitan. He lives on his patch and enjoys the quality environment.

PCSO Lloyd Harries covers Hay, Talgarth and Crickhowell and deals solely with local neighbourhood issues arising from patrol or local PACT meetings.
