Crime down by 15%
A 15 per cent reduction in crime is being celebrated by Dyfed Powys Police.
In the last 12 months there were 4,485 fewer victims of crime in the force area, compared to the previous year.
Violent crime reduced by 22 per cent and domestic burglary is down by three per cent.
Criminal damage is down by 17 per cent and vehicle crime is down by three per cent across the force area.
Officers say the introduction of Neighbourhood Policing Teams to tackle issues such as anti-social behaviour and criminal damage is having a positive effect on communities in all counties in the force area.
The force was recently graded excellent by the HMIC in its management of sex offenders and remains one of only a handful of forces nationally to be graded excellent in its provision of public protection services.
The most recent user satisfaction survey highlights that over 85 per cent of people are completely, very or fairly satisfied with their first hand experience of Dyfed Powys Police.
The figures come as Dyfed Powys Police celebrates its 40th anniversary year.
Dyfed Powys Constabulary was formed in 1968 following the amalgamation of Carmarthenshire and Cardiganshire Police, Mid Wales Constabulary and Pembrokeshire Police.

Congratulations on a good effort. Can I now suggest more policemen get out of their cars and walk a village beat occasionally, you may find the figures improve even more.
