Your neighbourhood policing team
Neighbourhood policing is at the heart of our approach to keeping South Wales safe. Your local team is made up of dedicated officers and PCSOs based in the area, who have the community’s best interests at heart and who are both visible and accessible.
We work closely with residents, community leaders, your local council and other partners to understand and respond to community concerns. By working together and focusing on early intervention, prevention and problem solving, we can find long-term solutions to local issues.
As well as the information on this page, you can find out more about crime and policing activity in your community, as well as contact details for your local team, via South Wales Listens.
Registering for South Wales Listens also gives you the opportunity to tell your local neighbourhood policing team about the issues that matter most to you, as well as take part in surveys to enable us to better understand concerns in your community.
We will also let you know about local engagement events, crime prevention advice, and occasionally about significant policing activity in your area.

Fly tipping and travellers are an ongoing issue on the Splott ward.

Residents are being proactively engaged with advice on securing vehicles, and ongoing patrols aim to prevent further incidents. The combination of enforcement and prevention work is reducing harm and increasing confidence in the local area.

Priority:
Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) - Hostels

VAWG remains a key priority in Splott, particularly concerning vulnerable women living in or around local hostels. The team continues proactive engagement, safeguarding work, and targeted operations under Operation Red Swan. Close partnership with hostel staff, outreach teams, and support services ensures vulnerable individuals are protected and that offending behaviour is disrupted.
-
Priority:
Anti-social behaviour - Tremorfa Park
Action taken:
Tremorfa Park continues to experience anti-social behaviour, particularly linked to groups gathering in the evenings. The Neighbourhood Policing Team has increased visibility in the area and is engaging with local residents to address concerns. Work continues with partners to provide positive alternatives and encourage responsible use of the park. Regular patrols and targeted interventions aim to reduce nuisance behaviour and improve the park for all users.
-
Priority:
Vehicle crime
Action taken:
Vehicle crime continues to be monitored through intelligence-led patrols, targeting known offenders and hotspot areas. Officers are using a combination of plain clothes and high-visibility deployments. Residents and local businesses are engaged to promote crime prevention measures, including secure locking, vehicle registration, and reporting suspicious activity. The aim remains to reduce theft, safeguard vehicles, and reassure the community.
-
Priority:
Environmental concerns - fly-tipping
Action taken:
The Neighbourhood Policing Team continues to work closely with Cardiff Council and the Cleansing Team to address fly-tipping across Splott. Officers have requested multiple call-outs to clear dumped waste, including the removal of an individual who had camped under Splott Bridge and areas along Newport Road behind TGIF. Plans are in development with the council to relocate cameras to known hotspot locations to deter future incidents. Engagement with the community continues to raise awareness of reporting mechanisms and to reassure residents that environmental concerns are being actively managed.
-
Priority:
Parking concerns - schools
Action taken:
Parking around schools remains a focus, particularly during drop-off and pick-up periods. PCSOs have been attending at key times to encourage traffic flow and safe parking. While parking issues were less prominent over the summer holidays due to children being off school, the plan is to increase patrols over the autumn period to address the issue proactively. Engagement with parents, school staff, and residents supports safe practices and reduces congestion.
