There was an increased police presence in Powys yesterday for Dyfed-Powys Police’ second Force Day of Action.
The police said they were putting ’#TotalFocus’ on tackling the crimes that are affecting vulnerable people within the community.
They were also offering tailored support for victims and witnesses of crime to help them through their experiences.
Dyfed-Powys Police also said they had been executing arrest warrants as well as carrying out spot-checks on identified individuals, properties and businesses.
Chief Constable Mark Collins said: "There was proactive policing work seeking out those who are known to be offending and targeting the more vulnerable people in our communities, putting a #TotalFocus on issues including drugs supply and misuse, travelling criminals, Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), domestic abuse and cyber-crime.
"There was also a strong focus on caring for victims and witnesses of crime. Being a victim or witness of crime can be a terribly traumatic experience that takes time and effort to overcome. There are services available that are ready and waiting to help."
Chief Constable Mark Collins also said that members of the public need to tell the police if they suspect that others are being taken advantage of.
Officers and staff on patrol yesterday were also providing details to crime victims and witnesses of the Goleudy service which was launched in April.
Funded by the Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn, Goleudy has brought together the Victim Service and The Witness Care Unit.
Mr Llywelyn said: "Victims do not have to have reported the crime to police to access this service, and they can get access to practical support, including security improvements at their home, and emotional support."
