About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

  • Priority:

    Shoplifting [Grangetown/Butetown]

    Issued 15 December 2025

    Action taken:

    Officers in both Butetown and Grangetown have been carrying out a dedicated operation to tackle shoplifting and support local businesses. Proactive patrols in key areas are already helping to deter offenders, ensuring our high streets remain safe and welcoming for everyone.
    This work is strengthened by close partnership with local shops, security teams, and community organisations. By sharing information and working together, we’re able to respond quickly to concerns and provide better protection for businesses and shoppers alike.
    Our teams will continue regular patrols and engagement with the community, and we encourage anyone with information or concerns to speak with their local officers.

  • Priority:

    Drug dealing & anti-social behaviour

    Issued 17 June 2025

    Action taken:

    In response to concerns regarding anti-social behaviour, including incidents of shoplifting, the Cardiff Bay Neighbourhood Policing Team has established a designated POP which has given us a greater presence in the area and allowed us to deter ASB in the areas which are having higher demand along with increased engagement points to provide support and reassurance to the local community and businesses.
    What is a POP?
    POP Plans are to be utilised as a short-term intervention problem solving approach in response to problem issues and concerns in your communities. They are simple plans which will be created utilising the SARA problem solving methodology. The POP plan is used to record the problem solving that NPT officers are doing daily.

    In response to drug dealing concerns we have created a two pronged approach increased community access to Police which works as a great way to develop community intelligence reporting and an increase in pro-active police patrols targeting hotspot areas. If you would like to see the results of our pro-active policing - sign up to South Wales Listens and Follow SWP Cardiff and the Vale on Facebook.

    Regarding the on-going issue of ASB under the bridge connecting to Wood St, Neighbourhood team are working pro-activity with Cardiff Council and supporting partnerships to solve the issue and support those effected. Further updates will be given in due course.
