Relationship between the Authority and the Force

Summary

Communities within Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys will receive the quality of policing to which they are entitled only if there is an open, mutually supportive yet constructively challenging relationship between the Police Authority, the Chief Constable and the Police Service which they lead.

It is in order to foster and maintain this crucial partnership working that the following principles, guidelines and practices have been developed. They are intended to underpin a culture and climate of mutual trust, confidence and openness in which both responsibility and accountability is clear.
