Dyfed-Powys Police is raising awareness under Operation Baltic of the issue of Domestic Abuse incidents over the Six Nations Rugby Tournament.
DI Neil Jenkins said
“We already know that alcohol can be a factor in domestic violence and consequently there is a tendency for domestic violence to increase during high profile sporting events. We will be using the tournament to target offenders and highlight the support available to victims.
He added: “We want to encourage victims who have suffered domestic abuse to come forward and access the specialist support that they need.”
“We have dedicated Domestic Abuse Officers who are there to provide support and information to male and female victims and their children. We will investigate all offences in order to bring perpetrators to justice and ultimately safeguard the victim and their children.”
“As an organisation and together with our Partner Agencies we want to give victims the courage and confidence to come forward and report such incidents so we can jointly deal with the risks, support the victim and bring persons to justice. Our specialist officers can arrange a number of measures in order to secure the safety of the victim and children.”
