Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment the Government has made of the performance of the National Police Air Service in Wales.
The Home Office does not collect performance information on the National Police Air Service (NPAS).
NPAS is a collaboration of English and Welsh Police Forces. The Service’s Strategic Board comprised of Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, including the Dyfed Powys PCC, are responsible for overseeing NPAS.
HMICFRS published a study of Police Air Support in November 2017. NPAS and the National Police Chief’s Council have both announced that they are undertaking work to address recommendations concerning NPAS.
