Safer Pembrokeshire has provided support and equipment in the fight against drugs.

Safer Pembrokeshire funds services for both drug and alcohol-based issues which offer a range of interventions, from brief harm reduction advice to specialist prescribing or detoxification.

The partnership is now looking for users and their families to provide feedback on the services.

Alison Rogers, of Safer Pembrokeshire, said: "We have recently commissioned a piece of research to assess the level of substance misuse carers in the county, looking at their needs and what support can be made available to them.

"If anyone is currently caring for a friend or family member with drug or alcohol problems and would like to share their views or experience, please contact us on 01437 769669."

Safer Pembrokeshire has also recently funded key pieces of equipment to help Dyfed Powys Police detect drug-related crime.

Digital cameras and similar covert surveillance equipment have been purchased and are proving essential for the proactive team to carry out undercover surveillance operations.

The county also now has its own portable ion scanner which is used to detect traces of drugs on any surface ranging from clothing and property to worktops or toilets.

Miss Rogers added: "The scanner is used in a number of ways to tackle substance misuse in the county, allowing prevention work to be undertaken in a variety of settings from education and workplaces to licensed premises.

"It can be used as a condition of entry to pubs and night clubs, acting both as a deterrent and a key method of enforcement.

"It is also used in conjunction with establishments such as Pembrokeshire College for drug awareness and prevention projects."
