Your Neighbourhood Policing and Prevention Team
Neighbourhood policing teams are made up of police officers and PCSOs, who are the familiar faces of Dyfed-Powys Police in your community. They are dedicated specialist teams who work with our communities and partners to maintain community safety and spirit, to problem solve in order to find sustainable solutions to the issues that have the greatest impact on people’s everyday lives.
Our Neighbourhood Policing & Prevention Teams are at the heart of how we protect the public, prevent crime, and meet the challenges of policing today.
