Police and the Community

South Wales is one of the safest places to study in the UK and we want to keep it that way. Together with the Police in your area, we work hard to make sure our students are kept safe and secure whilst studying at the University of South Wales. Along with the advice on these pages, we recommend downloading South Wales Police’s Crime Prevention Advice for Students Booklet, U-Safe for all their top tips.

Community Policing Role

The role of community policing is to assist members of a specific community with the full support of the local police force. The police aims to provide a presence and act as a point of contact for people who are experiencing issues with crime and or anti-social behaviour.

The local police forces conduct Partnerships and Communities Together (PACT) meetings each month. The meetings are to discuss local issues that the community can resolve together. There has been a lack of students attending so this is your chance to make a difference to your community!
