NEIGHBOURHOOD POLICING AND PREVENTION UPDATE.

Monthly Community Update from Sgt Sarah SMITH 734 - October 2026

Hello everyone,

I hope this message finds you well. As we move through October, I wanted to share a quick round-up of what’s been happening across our local area, what’s coming up, and how we’re working together to keep our community safe and thriving.

🔍 Local Priorities

Our current focus areas include:

Priority 1 – High volume of thefts from shops in Pembroke Dock. High visibility patrols will be conducted to deter shoplifting and to identify those responsible

Priority 2 – Community Concerns have been raised in relation to drug activity and associated ASB in the vicinity of Fort Road, Pembroke Dock. Regular patrols will be conducted to monitor and disrupt this behaviour

Priority 3 – Concerns have been raised about the use of E-Scooters and scrambler bikes in the PEMBROKE / COMMONS area. Officers will be focusing on enforcement and engagement to address the issue

We’re continuing patrols and targeted operations in these areas, and welcome any feedback or concerns you’d like to raise. These have been set on 01/10/2026 and will stay in place until the end of Dec.
