Neighbourhood policing is at the heart of our approach to keeping South Wales safe. Our PCSOs and officers are proud to be integral parts of the communities they serve.
We want to ensure our neighbourhood policing is as efficient and effective as it can be, and our aim is to be the best in the country at understanding and responding to the needs and priorities of each individual community. Your local neighbourhood policing team is made up of officers and PCSOs based in your area who are both visible and accessible.
Fundamental to our model of neighbourhood policing is engaging with our communities: connecting with individuals, organisations, businesses, schools, workplaces and others; working to understand, respond to, and tackle your concerns and priorities; and putting measures in place to prevent issues from escalating – or from occurring in the first place.
By working together and focusing on early intervention, prevention and problem solving, we can find long-term solutions to local problems.
Please note that to report a crime or incident to South Wales Police, you can visit Home | South Wales Police or in an emergency, please dial 999.

Anti-social behaviour and Drug use and dealing - Hostels Issued 17 June 2025 |
The Neighbourhood Policing Team has increased its focus on hostels in Adamsdown, with particular attention on Adams Court, where engagement visits have become more frequent in response to reports of anti-social behaviour and drug activity. Over this period, officers have executed drug search warrants at Adams Court and at the Wallich premises on Broadway, resulting in the seizure of controlled substances and intelligence on local supply chains. Weekly contact is maintained with staff and residents at Ty Seren and the Stacey Road hostels, ensuring early identification of risks and swift action to safeguard vulnerable occupants. This sustained approach, supported by partner agencies, is aimed at reducing offending, improving safety standards within the hostels, and reassuring the wider community. Work is also ongoing with the Blue Dragon Hostel, focusing on joint problem-solving to address substance misuse and associated anti-social behaviour. Actioned 17 September 2025 |
Anti-social behaviour & visible policing and reassurance - Clifton Street Issued 17 June 2025 |
The Neighbourhood Policing Team has maintained a strong and highly visible presence on Clifton Street, supported by Operation Myrica patrols to tackle street drinking, aggressive begging, and nuisance behaviour linked to the late-night economy. Uniformed officers have carried out reassurance visits to businesses and residents, focusing on peak periods to maximise deterrence and build confidence. Alongside this, joint work with the Shared Regulatory Service (SRS) has enabled targeted checks on premises, while coordinated actions with Immigration Enforcement have supported safeguarding and compliance work where appropriate. traders have reported that the increased police presence is having a positive effect on the street’s overall atmosphere. Actioned 17 September 2025 |
Sex work & street vulnerability Issued 17 June 2025 |
The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to focus on safeguarding those involved in, or at risk from, street-based sex work and associated exploitation across areas such as Tyndall Street, the Magic Roundabout, and City Road. Activity under Operation Red Swan has supported joint patrols with outreach partners, providing welfare checks, safety advice, and referrals to housing and substance misuse services, while also gathering intelligence on those seeking to exploit vulnerable women. In August, the first iteration of Operation Red Lantern was launched, targeting identified brothels for enforcement in partnership with Immigration Enforcement and NPT officers, with an emphasis on safeguarding and disrupting criminality. Engagement with residents and businesses continues to reassure the community that operations are proportionate, victim-focused, and designed to tackle exploitation alongside nuisance and criminality. Actioned 17 September 2025 |
