Please note: We do not as a force have the same categorisation for 999 calls and therefore have provided data which is relevant for DPP. So we have provided data for Immediate (P1) and Priority calls (P2).

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.
