Local officers dispatched to riot zones

 

Dyfed Powys Police have not confirmed how many have been sent, but they have reassured local residents this afternoon that local policing will not be affected as a result.

 

“We are providing support to our colleagues in the affected areas,” said Assistant Chief Constable Nick Ingram. “We are part of the national mobilisation scheme and consider each request for assistance.

 

“I’d like to reassure the people of Dyfed Powys, however, that the impact on local policing in their communities will be unaffected. We will be providing assistance to other forces where required, but we have the resilience to maintain front line policing in Dyfed Powys.

 

“But we ask that anyone with concerns about any tensions in their communities to contact the Police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.”
