Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn, has launched his four-year Police and Crime Plan for 2025 to 2029, setting out his vision to improve public trust and confidence in policing.
The plan reflects the priorities of people in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire, Carmarthenshire, and Powys regarding policing, crime, and the criminal justice system. It has been developed following extensive public consultation, including surveys and focus groups, where residents identified their key concerns and priorities for policing.
The three key priorities in the plan are:
• Supporting victims and preventing victimisation
• Supporting safe communities by preventing harm
• Supporting a more effective justice system
The plan details the objectives for Dyfed-Powys Police and outlines the steps the Commissioner will take alongside partners across the public sector to deliver these priorities.
The Police and Crime Plan was formally launched at an event on February 13th, bringing together key partners and commissioned services. The event provided an opportunity to outline the priorities that will guide the Commissioner’s work over the next four years and explore how collaborative efforts can help achieve the plan’s goals. Discussions focused on strengthening partnerships and ensuring a joined-up approach to tackling crime, supporting victims, and delivering justice across Dyfed-Powys.
Commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn said: "This plan is built on the views and concerns of our communities, ensuring that we focus on what truly matters to the people of Mid and West Wales. My commitment is to continue working with Dyfed-Powys Police and our partners to support victims, prevent harm and victimisation, and develop a more effective criminal justice system."
Ensuring that victims of crime receive the right support remains a key focus. "Victims must be at the heart of our policing and justice system. It is essential that those affected by crime have access to timely, effective support, helping them to recover and seek justice. Strengthening services that prevent victimisation is just as important as responding to crime itself."
Preventing harm is another priority, with a strong emphasis on tackling the root causes of crime. "By addressing issues such as antisocial behaviour and vulnerability, we can reduce harm and create a more resilient society. A proactive, problem-solving approach will ensure resources are used effectively to protect our communities."
Collaboration across the justice system will be crucial in delivering long-term improvements. "A strong and fair justice system relies on agencies working together. I will continue to work closely with partners to ensure that policing, the courts, and support services deliver justice efficiently and fairly for victims and communities alike."
The Police and Crime Plan sets out a clear direction for policing in Dyfed-Powys over the next four years, focusing on meaningful improvements that enhance public safety, support victims, and ensure an efficient and effective justice system.
