Dyfed-Powys chief constable to call it a day
The chief constable of Dyfed-Powys Police has announced he will retire later this year.
Simon Prince will be step down from the force this coming summer after three years in the role.
Mr Prince said: "It has been an enormous privilege to be the chief constable of Dyfed-Powys Police.
"It is an area and force like no other.
"When I took up this post, I was determined that despite the rapidly changing policing landscape, we would not falter on the service our communities receive.
"Since 2013, we have been on a significant journey to restructure our organisation and, while this has not been an easy process, my officers and staff have worked tirelessly to ensure the communities they serve remain the safest – I am so proud of what they achieve day-in-day out.
"I'm also grateful for the support that the communities in our area unfailingly show to their local policing teams – it's what makes policing here work."
He added: "My career in policing began in 1990 and since that time it has been my privilege to work alongside inspiring and committed police officers and staff.
"In Dyfed-Powys Police, we are fortunate to have a workforce which embodies the essence of what it means to be a public servant."
Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner Christopher Salmon said: "I am grateful to Simon Prince for his many years of service to the public in Dyfed-Powys and in Gwent before. He has been a thoughtful and positive contributor to British policing."
