Dyfed Powys Police have re-launched ‘newsletters’ to provide an update on what the Neighbourhood Policing Teams have been tasked with tackling in the area, and what matters in the community.

Members of the public in the Tenby, Saundersfoot and Narberth areas are being encouraged to tell the policing team what they know, to help shape a long term fix for any issues.

“We have invested in additional neighbourhood police officers dedicated to tackling issues that matter in your community,” said a spokesperson for Dyfed Powys Police.

“These teams allow us to respond quicker when you need us and will also enable us to place greater focus on tackling the root causes of recurring issues.

“This newsletter is one way for us to keep you updated on their work in your area, and over the coming months, we’ll be introducing additional ways to connect with you.

“As well as tackling your community concerns, our county priorities for this year will be to continue to protect vulnerable people, to prevent domestic abuse and to reduce the harm caused by substance abuse. If you have any information or concerns, tell us,” they added.

Tenby’s multi-storey car park was one of the policing team’s priorities throughout the winter months, with the focus on reducing the level of anti-social behaviour occurring in the building, as local residents made complaints regarding the level of noise from vehicles driving in an anti-social manner and youth’s skate boarding, which could go on late into the evenings.

Tenby NPT have been proactively patrolling the multi-storey to deter any anti-social behaviour and as a result have issued eight ASB Warning letters and two section 59 Warnings (for driving in an anti-social manner).

Anyone with information about the ASB at the multi-storey or any other issues causing concern, can report to the police online at http://bit.ly/DPPReportOnline, via email at contactcentre@dyfed-powys.pnn.police.uk or by phoning 101.

Members of the public are also urged to attend the ‘Catch up with a Copper’ engagement events - a monthly meeting between the community and officers, to discuss any local issues that may need to be brought to the policing team’s attention.

“Look out for updates on meeting times and venues, in local media, on posters around town or ask an officer,” said PCSO Stephanie Rayner of the local neighbourhood policing team.

“The newsletter is something that your neighbourhood policing team are responsible for and anyone can request a copy - it can be sent via email or a paper copy can be produced. They will be a quarterly newsletters, however there is a possibility for extra newsletters to be released throughout the year.

“Anyone wishing to received the newsletter can contact us via the tenbyNPT@dyfed-powys.pnn.police.uk email address or ask one of their local PCSOs,” she added.
