Gwent Police

Gwent Police serves approximately 600,000 people across south-east Wales, covering a diverse area from the city of Newport on the Severn Estuary to the former coal mining communities of the South Wales Valleys. The force operates bilingually and collaborates closely with South Wales Police and neighbouring English forces on serious and organised crime. Newport, as a significant city on the England-Wales border, presents particular challenges around cross-border criminal activity.

Area Covered

Gwent Police covers the county boroughs of Newport, Torfaen, Blaenau Gwent, Caerphilly, and Monmouthshire in south-east Wales. The force area borders England and includes the city of Newport and the former mining valleys.
