Panel Members Rural Crime Forum MONDAY 23 JULY 2018 | 11:00 - 12:30 FUW Building | Royal Welsh Showground Panel Members Are we doing enough to tackle rural crime? Dyfed-Powys is the largest police force area in both England and Wales, with much of its territory falling within rural inland areas and coastal countryside. Crime that occurs within these areas, and indeed across much of Wales’ landmass, can be classified as rural crime. Rural crime is often complex, multi-faceted and difficult to monitor and investigate. ‘Are we doing enough?’ welcomes colleagues from partner agencies across Wales to sit alongside me on a panel to discuss and consult with partners, stakeholders and members of rural communities on matters of wildlife crime and rural affairs in Wales. As elected officials and senior representatives of our respective organisations, we have a responsibility to listen to, and address concerns over community safety, crime and justice. Together, we can work together to deliver better services to where it matters most - our communities. A native of Ceredigion, Dafydd Llywelyn has been the Police and Crime Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner since Commissioner for May 2016. Before that he worked in the criminal justice Dyfed-Powys field with more than 13 years' experience with Dyfed- Powys Police. Dafydd Llywelyn Dafydd was Dyfed-Powys Police's Principal Crime and Intelligence Analyst before becoming a lecturer in criminology at Aberystwyth University. In 2016 he was elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Dyfed-Powys. During his 2 years in post the force has received two ‘Good’ HMICFRS reports, he has recently re-invested and modernised the CCTV infrastructure, and has overseen the renewal of Dyfed- Powys Police’s Rural Crime Strategy.

    Zgromadzenie Narodowe Walii Zwiedzanie siedziby parlamentu walijskiego, Senedd Zgromadzenie Narodowe Walii to Zwiedzanie siedziby parlamentu 01 demokratycznie wybrany organ, który walijskiego, Senedd Witamy reprezentuje interesy Walii i jej ludności, stanowi prawo Walii i rozlicza Walijski Rząd. Witamy w budynku Senedd, w siedzibie Zgromadzenia Narodowego Walii. Od momentu jego otwarcia w 2006 r., Senedd stał się jednym z najbardziej charakterystycznych budynków w Walii. Reprezentuje on istotny etap w historii przekazania władz parlamentowi walijskiemu, która sięga wiele wieków wstecz. Po zakończeniu stopniowego procesu przekazywania władzy przez brytyjski parlament w Londynie władzom walijskim, Senedd stało się miejscem stanowienia prawa walijskiego. Znajdujesz się obecnie w budynku, w którym w 2008 r., po raz pierwszy od X wieku, przyjęto walijską ustawę. Budynek i sama sala Siambr stanowią miejsca ogólnodostępne, będące symbolem jasności, otwarcia i przejrzystości. Bez względu na to, czy przyjdziesz tu podziwiać architekturę, czy być świadkiem realizowania założeń demokracji, mamy nadzieję, że ten przewodnik sprawi, że wizyta ta będzie zarówno przyjemna, jak i pouczająca. Zwiedzanie siedziby parlamentu 02 walijskiego, Senedd Neuadd Duże pomieszczenie, w którym znajduje się recepcja, nosi nazwę Neuadd. W tym miejscu można uzgodnić skorzystanie z możliwości przyjrzenia się obradom z galerii dla publiczności. Należy zgłosić się do recepcji, gdzie nasz personel z chęcią udzieli pomocy i odpowiedzi na wszelkie pytania, jakie nasuną się Państwu podczas wizyty. Kształt pięknego drewnianego dachu budynku Senedd odzwierciedla ruch i kontury fal. Dach wykonany jest z drewna cedrowego Western Red pochodzącego z odnawialnych lasów w Brytyjskiej Kolumbii i najlepszej jakości stali z południowej Walii. Drewno to charakteryzuje się niskimi kosztami utrzymania, nie butwieje i nie wymaga obróbki; jego naturalne oleje umożliwiają stosowanie go bez żadnej obróbki przez co najmniej sto lat.

  • Engaging with Your Local Policing Bodies
    Engaging with your local policing bodies A briefing to help Friends who wish to engage with their Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales and with the Police Authority in Scotland. Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are democratically elected, salaried, public servants responsible for policing and community safety in their local area. In 2012 they replaced local Police Authorities in England and Wales. The first Police and Crime Commissioners were elected in November 2012 for a four year term. Creating this new elected post is intended to make the function more accountable to the public. Democratic accountability means that the public should be involved in debate about the provision of services. Collectively Police and Crime Commissioners also represent the way in which policing develops in England and Wales. Under new legislation proposed in 2016 Police and Crime Commissioners in England will also be required to work more closely with the local fire and rescue services. In some cases they will be able to take over the responsibility for both those services. The Westminster government is also exploring how Police and Crime Commissioners could be more involved in the wider criminal justice system. Since 2012 policing is London is overseen by the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime and a Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime who has most of the powers and duties of a Police and Crime Commissioner. From May 2017 Greater Manchester’s elected mayor will take on the responsibilities of Police and Crime Commissioner for the area. Meanwhile they are being carried by the interim Mayor, appointed in 2015.

  • What Are Pccs For? the Intended Role of Police and Crime Commissioners and Their Performance Since 2012
    A Gwilym Gibbon Centre Working Paper. Work in progress. All rights reserved. Not to be cited or copied without prior reference to the authors. What are PCCs for? The intended role of Police and Crime Commissioners and their performance since 2012 By Iain McLean, Mike Norton and Anika Ludwig A Gwilym Gibbon Centre Working Paper. Work in progress. All rights reserved. Not to be cited or copied without prior reference to the authors. What are PCCs for? The problem Policing in Great Britain has always been predominantly local. But, almost two centuries after the first UK Act authorising a police force, there is no agreed model of local democratic control. A number of forces have never been under the control of elected local authorities; others have moved in and out of local control. Ireland, and now Northern Ireland, faced unique public order issues when policing began, therefore its police have never been responsible to elected Local Authorities. Consequently, because the issues and the administration of policing in (Northern) Ireland are so different to those in Great Britain, they are not further considered in this paper.1 The Metropolitan Police Act 1829 (10 Geo.4, C.44) created the force which set the model for policing in Great Britain, but did not set the governance model. Its territory was historic London and the neighbouring counties. Its officers were directly appointed by the Home Secretary: ‘fit and able men shall from time to time, by the direction of His Majesty's Secretaries of State, be appointed as a Police Force’. Pay and conditions were to be regulated by the Secretary of State2.

  • The Annual Report of the House Committee 2003-04
    Assembly Members' Services 2003-2004 (the Second Annual Report of the House Committee under Standing Order 18.12, dealing with the year 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004) October 2004 Foreword by the Presiding Officer This has been the first year of the Second Assembly, and began with the Second Assembly Elections, a time of challenge and change for both Members and staff of the Assembly Parliamentary Service. The assistance we were able to provide to welcome Members after the elections and to help them to settle into their new roles was very much appreciated. We continue to set an example of equality with a National Assembly that is now gender- balanced, having 30 women and 30 men in its membership. The opening of the Second Assembly, by Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and the Earl of Merioneth more widely known as the Duke of Edinburgh, was an enjoyable and significant occasion. We also received distinguished visitors from many countries around the world, including Helen Clark, Prime Minister of New Zealand and President Minister Erwin Teufel of Baden-Wurrtemburg, who addressed the Assembly. I was also pleased to welcome Speakers from Australia, the United States of America, Croatia and Congo. As with all evolving democratic institutions, the first year of the Second Assembly has seen change in the way we operate and do business. Different seating arrangements in the Chamber have heralded a change in the tone of debate, also prompted by the intake of new Members (just under 25%) and the shift in balance between the parties.

    Gwasanaethau Aelodau'r Cynulliad 2004-2005 (Trydydd Adroddiad Blynyddol Pwyllgor y Ty o dan Reol Sefydlog 18.12, yn trafod blwyddyn 1 Ebrill 2004 i 31 Mawrth 2005) Hydref 2005 Rhagair gan y Llywydd Ers diwedd y flwyddyn y mae’r Adroddiad hwn yn cyfeirio ati, mae Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Unedig wedi cyhoeddi ei Phapur Gwyn ar ‘Well Trefn Lywodraethu i Gymru’ ac mae aros eiddgar am gyhoeddi’r Mesur i weithredu cynigion y Llywodraeth. I aros y newid hwn a fydd yn sefydlu fframwaith cyfansoddiadol newydd, mae gwahanu’r gwasanaethau sy’n cefnogi’r Cynulliad fel deddfwrfa oddi wrth rai’r llywodraeth yn ddatblygedig iawn. Mae un cynnig yn arbennig yn debygol o effeithio’r Pwyllgor hwn gan y bydd y ddeddfwriaeth mae’n debyg yn sefydlu Comisiwn fel sydd yn San Steffan a Holyrood i gynnal ein materion mewnol. Bydd hyn yn ein troi’n gorff seneddol cyflawn. Fel pe bai i aros am hyn, un elfen nodedig yn y flwyddyn oedd datblygiad gweithio ar y cyd gyda Senedd y Deyrnas Unedig i graffu ar ddeddfwriaeth fel yr oedd y Pwyllgor Datblygu Economaidd a Thrafnidiaeth wedi cyfarfod â Phwyllgor Materion Cymreig Ty’r Cyffredin i graffu ar y Mesur Trafnidiaeth (Cymru). Cyfarfu’r Pwyllgorau Addysg a Dysgu Gydol Oes, Cyfiawnder Cymdeithasol ac Adfwyio a’r Pwyllgor Cyfleoedd Cyfartal gyda’i gilydd yn Ionawr 2005 i gwestiynu’r Comisiynydd Plant ar ei Adroddiad Blynyddol. Fe all gweithio ar y cyd o’r fath ddod yn nodwedd o graffu cyn-deddfwriaethol ac o archwilio gwaith awdurdodau annibynnol yn y dyfodol.
