The police force helicopter needs to be saved – that is the pledge from those battling in the Dyfed-Powys police commissioner election. Labour candidate Christine Gwyther and Conservative counterpart Christopher Salmon both state a plane would not be suitable even if a helicopter was to cost more. The force – which covers the counties of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys – is geographically the largest in England and Wales and will lose the aircraft in 2014 if plans for a national service come into fruition.

Recorded crime in Wales has fallen between 2003 and 2012. As at March 31, 2003 the total incidents logged in Wales were 294,780 – by June 30, 2012 this had decreased to 186,624. An official spokesman said that these stats mean you have the lowest chance of being a victim of crime since the annual Crime Survey for England and Wales started in 1981. There was a six per cent decrease in overall crime against adults compared to the previous year.
Approximately one in six speed cameras are digital in Wales, it has been revealed this week.

Transport police are working with Gwent Police to target a metal theft hot spot in south Wales. The first area to be targeted will be in the Rhymney Valley but the aim is to also expand into Newport.

A Welsh vehicle crime scheme has seen thefts from motor vehicles fall by 6.5 per cent so far in 2012. The initiative involves sending a letter and crime prevention info to registered keepers whose vehicles had valuables clearly seen on display. North Wales patrolling officers and colleagues from partner organisations carry out the checks. Car parks which have been affected by crime have been visited by Crime Reduction Officers and car park managers spoken to and crime advisory notices issued.
