PCSOs have been employed by the force since 2003 and have proved to be a valuable asset, working in support of police officer colleagues.  Dyfed-Powys Police values difference and recognises that people with a variety of skills, attitudes and experiences, from diverse backgrounds and cultures, bring fresh ideas and perspectives.

Our PCSOs are local, enthusiastic individuals who regularly demonstrate our commitment to making Dyfed-Powys' communities safer and feeling safer. Few roles can be more varied and interesting. You could be reassuring and advising residents, organising the removal of abandoned vehicles, reporting suspicious activities and attending local meetings.

We give you all the training and support you need, you just have to care about your community and be good at talking to the public in a diplomatic, confident and authoritative way. And of course, respect the differences between us all that make our communities what they are.
