14 News POLICE in Haverfordwest A COUNTY COUNCILLOR
received first–hand experience of life on the beat last weekend (Jan 28) as he joined police officers around Haverfordwest to observe the impact of the night time economy on the town. Cllr Davd Bryan accompanied
officers for an eight–hour stint, from 8pm on Saturday evening until 4am on Sunday morning. Having been an observer with the
police over the past 13 years since first being elected to the council, Cllr Bryan’s latest shift enabled him to witness exactly how officers cope with the various demands placed on them. Cllr Bryan said: “As someone
with a long–time keen interest in seeing exactly what goes on in the county town over the weekend night time hours, I was very impressed with how the police officers operate. There were potentially violent incidents with drinkers, there was an arrest for drug possession, there was an investigation into a sexual assault, [and] there were cases of stopping vehicles where there was suspicion of criminal behaviour of the part of the drivers. “All incidents were handed with

tact but firmness. The difference between the state of Castle Square and Quay Street in the licensed premises’ closing times from 12 months ago and today was impressive for the improvement in the atmosphere of violence and tension that I experienced on my last observation.” Cllr Bryan also found it very
reassuring that unmarked police cars travel around the central streets and residential area roads throughout the
late evening and early morning on the look out for criminal behaviour. He concluded: “I appreciate
the hard work and dedication that our local police force put into their dealings maintaining law and order.”

Police appeal for assault information
admitted damaging the window screen of a Range Rover in Goodwick last month. On Tuesday (Feb 7), Peter
Bromley, 41, of West Street, pleaded guilty to damaging the vehicle on January 21. Magistrates heard that Bromley
attended a pub, but was asked to leave shortly after. Prosecutor Sian Vaughan said that
when the defendant left the pub, he damaged the Range Rover by putting a breeze block through its window screen. Informing the court that there
are ‘two sides to every story’, in Bromley’s defence, Mike Kelleher
is said to have happened between a number of people, and a male has sustained a broken arm and required hospital treatment. If you have any information please call PC887 Morris on 101.

physical way on a person, he threw the brick through the window. Mr Kelleher added that Bromley
‘realises that two wrongs don’t make a right’ and informed the court that the defendant apologises. In this situation, alcohol got the
better of Bromley, but he is currently attending DIDAS on a voluntary basis. Magistrates
awarded
compensation of £131 to the complainant and fined Bromley £120 for the offence. The defendant will also have to pay £85 in prosecution costs and a £30 victim surcharge.

ON Safer Internet Day (SID)
2017 Dyfed-Powys Police is urging people not to fall foul of fraudsters, by following five simple steps. In the lead-up to SID Dyfed-Powys
Police have spoken to residents living across Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys to find out how the internet improves their lives. They’ve told Dyfed-Powys Police they use the internet as helping them to keep in touch with family members who live away, using it for homework, research and entertainment and online shopping. Their stories have been shared on the Dyfed-Powys Police Facebook and Twitter profiles. Police have also taken the
opportunity to make them aware of the risks that come with using the internet and how to protect themselves. The most commonly reported Cyber
Crime affecting people living in the four Dyfed-Powys counties is computer software services fraud and is usually the result of sensitive personal information being released. In just six months last year, over £400,000 was stolen from people living in
Dyfed-Powys as a result of Cyber Crime. Police are recommending people
follow these five easy steps to help protect them online: 1. Create passwords made of three
random words. A strong password is your first line of defense against hackers and Cyber criminals. 2. Use a secure website for your online shopping. 3. Use a secure method of payment
when shopping online. Paying by PayPal or credit card are the safest ways. 4. Be wary of websites that are
advertised in unsolicited emails from strangers. 5. Use your instincts and common
sense. Websites which request more personal information than you would normally expect to give are probably malicious. Temporary Assistant Chief Constable
and policing lead for Cyber Crime in Wales, Pam Kelly, said: “The internet has revolutionised the way we live our lives. In general we are very good at looking after ourselves in our ‘real’, offline lives, but the internet should be regarded as our hidden streets.
“Through using the Internet for all
the wonderful things it offers us, we are also opening ourselves up to risks, including financial loss. As we live more and more of life online, we must be as cautious in these spaces as we would be walking down the street. “Dyfed-Powys is the safest place to
live in England and Wales and we aspire to make our online community as safe as our offline community. SID offers the opportunity to highlight positive and negative uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community.” Safer Internet Day 2017 (SID) will
be celebrated globally. Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre the celebration sees hundreds of organisations get involved to help promote the safe, responsible and positive use of digital technology for children and young people. It calls upon young people, parents,
carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and wider, to join together in helping to create a better internet.
