NOT FUN FOR EVERYONE / Op BANG

Prynhawn Da / good afternoon, 

Sadly, we have said goodbye to a pretty good summer. Children have returned to school and the dark nights are drawing in.

Soon, it will be time for  pumpkin-carving, fancy dress and spectacular firework displays; Halloween and Bonfire Night are often highlights in the family calendar.

But with a small minority seeing the autumnal events as an excuse to act in an antisocial manner, the period can leave many in our communities feeling anxious, intimidated and fearful. 

With that in mind, South Wales Police will once again be supporting Op Bang, helping our communities to enjoy the festivities safely while asking them to remember that Halloween and Bonfire Night are Not Fun For Everyone.

                                             Please ensure you know where your children are at all times.   

Myself and my colleagues will continue to be visible in our communities in the run up to, and during, the festivities to help prevent and detect antisocial behaviour (ASB) and disorder.

There will be some wonderfully organised local events to attend, that are safe and enjoyable for all the family.

I will be posting the date and times of these, a little closer to the date.

To help us keep our lines free for those who need us most, please ensure you’re contacting the most relevant agency and using the most appropriate means of contact.

Concerns around antisocial behaviour and public safety is a matter for the police. If not an emergency, you can contact us via the following means:
