As Volunteer’s Week draws to a close, we look at another important part of our force – our Volunteer Chaplains.
Working on the front line is no easy task, but Dyfed-Powys Police's band of volunteers – the “specials” help ensure our communities are kept safe alongside full-time police officers and PCSO’s.
“I get as much out of it as they do,” says Volunteer Police Cadet Leader in a bid to encourage new leaders to mentor young recruits in Dyfed-Powys Police
We speak to some of the Volunteer Police Cadets from Newtown about what it is like being in the cadets, what they enjoy and why they volunteer.
As a retired police officer of 30 years, Dr Martin Wright moved into academia following his retirement and now dedicates his time as a police support volunteer with Dyfed-Powys Police.
Identify and target misuse of e-scooters in public areas / road safety concerns
Issued 07 October 2026
Our residents have continued to highlighted the growing concerns around e-scooters being used on roads and footpaths in the Llanelli Rural area.
This continues to be an issue especially along the coastal path between Llanelli and Burry Port.
Officers will look to conduct joint operations with our town colleagues over the next 3 months to target the areas and individuals concerned and take positive action against the illegal use of any e-scooter.
Information will be processed and any outcomes publicised accordingly
Actioned 20 January 2027
Anti-social behaviour
Issued 07 October 2026
Anti-social behaviour remains a priority concern for us in several areas with the Llanelli rural community
Community leaders have highlighted areas of concern and over the coming months we will look to target these through conducting preventative measures by monitoring and targeting the hot spot areas for any ASB in our communities and aim to carry out joint patrols with partner agencies.
This will be structured around a strategic approach, supported through data analysis, with a view to intervene early and reduce overall ASB within our area.
NPPT officers will take positive action with any individual concerned or involved with ASB

Road safety concerns and issues
Issued 07 October 2026
Road safety continues to be a concern within our communities and whilst your NPPT teams are limited in direct actions that can be taken we are able to organise and undertake operations and actions alongside the Roads Policing Team to target these areas of concern.
The Llanelli Rural NPPT team will continue to identify and target the areas of concern utilising the RPU team and drones to target ASB on the roads, and in particular the illegal and dangerous use of e-scooters.
These issues remain a priority over the coming months and further operations of this nature will continue to be conducted in partnership with our Llanelli Town colleagues to identify and take action against any person involved in the behaviour
