Dyfed Powys Police very much welcomes the findings of the HMIC inspection of the force which looked at the police response to domestic violence and abuse. This follows their inspection of all 43 police forces in England and Wales.
Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Powell, Head of CID for Dyfed Powys Police said, “Whilst nationally, HMIC have identified that the police response to domestic abuse is not good enough, it is pleasing to see that here in Dyfed Powys they have stated that domestic abuse is a priority for the force. They further stated that the public can have confidence that we are committed to providing a good response to victims of domestic abuse whilst taking robust action against perpetrators.”
“We of course recognise that there are areas where we can improve our response in this important area of policing, and to this end, we have made positive steps to further professionalise our procedures, processes and structures whilst closely working with partner agencies, and we continue to do so.”
“As a force we are committed to putting the public first in everything we do, and this is never more the case than for those victims who suffer domestic abuse”.
