Police consultation launched
DYFED-POWYS police and crime commissioner Dafydd Llywelyn has launched a public consultation on policing priorities and police funding, giving the public the opportunity to influence vital policing decisions.
Residents and businesses across Dyfed-powys will have until November 30 to have their final say on the police and crime commissioner’s draft Police and Crime Plan, as well as the police precept level for next financial year.
The commissioner’s policing priorities for 2021-2025 are set out in his Police and Crime Plan.
In the draft plan, Mr Llywelyn commits to ensuring victims are at the heart of every decision, with a specific focus on understanding victims’ views, taking traumainformed approaches and looking at community-based solutions.
In launching the consultation, he said: “Feedback from the public, together with research and assessments of local needs, resources and priorities have enabled me to set out policing priorities for our local communities.
“I am urging the communities of the Dyfed-powys area to voice your opinions on these important issues.”
Mr Llywelyn is also in the process of establishing the budget for local policing for the 2022-23 financial year as he awaits the Government’s Police Grant settlement.
The consultation will ask residents and business owners to consider their contribution towards local policing.
