2. What is the cost of such posts and any necessary direct admin support?
3. What is the number and cost of external training bodies and courses for equality and diversity training?

Clarification: I wish to know the salaries of people who hold the equality and diversity posts within the organisation, and the costs of officers who have received additional training and can be deployed as hate crime or LGBT liaison officers.

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.

Please note: There are officers who have roles that may be of interest, for example, officers who may have received additional training and can be deployed as hate crime or LGBT liaison officers. These aspects are not their sole roles, but they can be deployed to undertake roles that support some work that may be of interest to the applicant. We would need clarity on the definition of ‘equality and diversity’ to answer fully.
