Dyfed-Powys Police Force's Day of Action is underway across Carmarthenshire tacking those who exploit the vulnerable.

Superintendent Ian John, BCU Commander for Pembrokeshire and force lead on today’s activity, said:
 
“Abuse of the most vulnerable more often than not takes place behind closed doors or in dark corners. Today is about shining a light on those spaces and raising awareness of the tell-tale signs.”
 
“We are running multiagency operations across the force to raise awareness of the signs that might suggest someone is being exploited and, are confronting head on those who are known to be offending.”
 
Superintendent John added, “If you know about it, report it. The exploitation of the most vulnerable cannot be tackled by us and our partners alone. Our communities have a big part to play in this.” 
 
“We police the safest towns and villages across England and Wales, but we know that that means little to those who are living with the misery, torment and pain of criminal exploitation day-in day-out. We need to hear from you if you are suffering. We also need you to tell us if you suspect that others are being taken advantage of.”
