What we do

Police and Crime Commissioners were introduced by the 2011 Police Reform Act, significantly changing the governance of policing and the relationship with partner agencies.

The overall responsibility of the Commissioner is to maintain an effective and efficient police service. That means reducing offending and working together on agreed priorities as well as holding the Chief Constable to account. For the Commissioner and the Chief Constable this involves providing dynamic leadership that goes beyond policing to engage with the public sector generally across South Wales.

This service is for people of all ages.
