Summary of HMIC baseline assessments.
Dyfed-Powys is a low crime area with a good sense of community spirit and high levels of public support. There is a policy in place requiring all reported crime to be investigated.
The force has experienced increases in the numbers of reported crimes during the last 12 months. This, however, is due to its delayed implementation of the National Crime Recording Standard (NCRS) within the force, rather than an increase in the number of crimes being committed.
Investment in good technology has been a key factor in many new developments and the force is in the process of moving to a purpose-built central communications centre, co-located with the fire service and ambulance service.
Many of the force’s policies and strategies are in the process of being reviewed and updated. This will provide the opportunity to ensure that they are fully integrated and all areas are contributing to force performance.
