Call us
We welcome telephone calls in Welsh (option 2).
Lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Calls may be recorded for training and monitoring purposes. Please note, lines are closed on bank holidays.
To make a complaint about the police, please use our online complaints form.
Email us
We aim to respond to any direct queries within ten working days, but this may not be possible during exceptionally busy periods. We advise you read our automatic acknowledgement email that covers many questions about the process before chasing a response from us. Please note that our computer systems are not able to receive attachments larger than 7.5 megabytes in size.
Write to us
We encourage you to contact us by email, rather than post. All correspondence and supporting documentation received will be copied electronically. The paperwork will then be securely destroyed after 21 days unless the sender requests that the originals be retained, in which case they will be returned by standard delivery post. You can write to us at:
