Our priorities and progress
Police and Crime Plan 2021 - 2025
The Police and Crime Commissioner is responsible for producing the Police and Crime Plan 2021 - 2025.
The plan helps sets the strategic direction and priorities for Dyfed-Powys Police. They are:
- Victims are supported.
- Harm is prevented.
- Our justice system is more effective.
Progress is reported quarterly at the Policing Accountability Board; a public meeting where the Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn holds Chief Constable Dr Richard Lewis and his senior team to account.

- Commissioning services to help victims cope and recover
Harm is prevented
- Visible and proactive policing services, both in the physical and cyber world.
- We adopt early intervention and a problem-solving approach to address root causes of crime and anti-social behaviour.
- We take a public health approach to high community harm problems, including substance misuse, violence against women and girls and mental health.
- We promote a Child-Centred approach that recognises the vulnerability of children and young people, which improves their life chances.
- Improved road safety through addressing the five main causes of road traffic collisions and injuries in Wales (Fatal 5).
Our justice system is more effective
- Improved quality and timeliness of criminal investigations.
- More successful criminal justice outcomes, particularly relating to violence against women and girls.
- We recognise the vulnerability of children in the criminal justice system, both as victims and perpetrators.
- Reduced reoffending through targeted interventions and preventative orders.
- Public trust and confidence in the criminal justice system through establishing views of victims, appropriate restorative justice and assessing disproportionality within the system.
