DAVRU Team 506/2026
FOI Reference: 506/2026
Request:
- Please may I ask if the DAVRU team covers the whole of Dyfed Powys? if they are split between counties please could I have how they have been divided across counties by number.
- Could I please ask how many Child and Adult Safeguarding Officers or previous equivalent roles are and have been allocated to each county for the past 5 years.
Response 1:
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.
The DAVRU within Dyfed-Powys Police covers the whole Force area and officers are not designated to a county.
Response 2:
I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, as outlined below.
Please note: The Department responsible for providing the information have stated that data for 2020 is held, but due to a change in the way the information is recorded in 2021, it is estimated that in order to locate, retrieve and extract the information would, if requested, result in a Time Estimate response as it would greatly exceed the 18 hours authorised under FOI legislation. Due to the structure within Dyfed-Powys Police and the size of our organisation we do not have officers who are solely Adult and Safeguarding Officers. Our core Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and Joint Investigation Team (JIT)teams across Dyfed-Powys Police are responsible for Child and Adult Safeguarding as part of their overall role. We have provided the numbers of these in the table below:

Not recorded in a way that is easily identifiable: After 2021 our recording of CID operational and structural data improved therefore data before this period is not easily extracted/analysed or comparable to the question submitted. |
