Our priorities and progress
Police and Crime Plan 2017 - 2021
The Police and Crime Commissioner is responsible for producing the Police and Crime Plan 2017 - 2021.
The plan helps sets the strategic direction and priorities for Dyfed-Powys Police. They are:
- Keeping our communities safe.
- Safeguarding the vulnerable.
- Protecting our communities from serious threats.
- Connecting with communities.
Progress is reported quarterly at the Policing Accountability Board; a public meeting where the Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn holds Chief Constable Mark Collins and his senior team to account.
