South Wales Police provides a policing service to 1.3 million people (42% of the country’s population). The force has over 3,500 police officers and over 2,900 police staff, including Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and a team of dedicated volunteers that includes over 64 Special Constables and 170 Police Youth Volunteers.
The roles of uniformed officers who respond to calls and PCSOs that work out in the community are probably familiar to most people. As well as our uniformed roles we also have a range of Police Staff roles, many of which aren’t visible to the public but are nonetheless an essential part of how we police, every role contributes!
The Chief Constable Jeremy Vaughan and Police and Crime Commissioner Emma Wools in alignment with the South Wales Police, Crime and Justice Plan 2025-29 have developed the plan to ensure we remain focused on what is important for us and our communities. Their shared principles and values set the standard for Our Delivery Plan alongside our mission, vision and values statement.
We will:
To prevent and detect crime; protect, serve and reassure our communities; and provide a first-class service to victims.
To be an outstanding police service: accessible, reliable and trusted by our communities.
Courage. Integrity. Compassion.
