- The resident population is largely concentrated in towns in the north of the area, along the coast, and in the north-west corner.
- The annual influx of 25 million tourists signigificantly swells the population and poses particular policing demands – in towns and villages, and on the roads.
- The force collaborates with other Welsh forces and also works with counterparts in north-west England, the source of some of its crime threats.
