The Police Authority has a responsibility to monitor and scrutinise performance levels within South Wales Police – in other words to make sure the force is doing its job well.
The pages within this section illustrate the current level of performance for the force, and for each of the four policing divisions. The performance is calculated against the targets set by the Police Authority at the beginning of the year.
The information below shows both recorded and detected crime rates. For more information on these terms,
