Calls on STORM (Police Computer System that records incidents by our Force Communications Centre) can be populated in two different ways: either geobasing them as a post code area, which would separate each individual property, or geobasing the calls as Llanion Cottages, which would mean general calls in relation to the street.

Dyfed-Powys Police do not work with catchment areas, only specific streets/houses.

It should be noted that as a result of the systems adopted by Dyfed-Powys Police in relation to the recording of such information that the information released may or may not be accurate.

Furthermore, it should also be noted that Police forces in the United Kingdom are routinely required to provide crime statistics to government bodies and the recording criteria is set nationally. However, the systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the crime data. It should be noted that for these reasons this force's response to your questions should not be used for comparison purposes with any other response you may receive.
