Response:

I can confirm that there is no information held by Dyfed Powys Police in respect of the specific information requested, however I can advise the following –

Officers/Staff are expected to maintain a good understanding of current affairs, to be professionally curious and responsible for developing their own awareness of issues affecting policing and communities. One means of doing so is via publicly accessible mainstream media, publications and documentaries, etc. We encourage officers and staff to regularly make themselves aware of various wide ranging forms of these publications.
