About the memorial: Slate tablet commemorating sixteen police officers from the old county police forces that merged into Dyfed Powys Police. Dyfed Powys Police force was formed in 1968 with the merger of the County Constabularies of Carmarthen, Pembroke, Cardigan, Brecon, Radnor and Montgomery. A large number of Policemen from the old county police forces served in the armed forces during the Great War, sixteen of whom lost their lives. These men were originally commemorated on war memorials in their respective counties, but during 2014 Dyfed Powys Police decided to commemorate all of its former men on a new war memorial which was unveiled in the Police Headquarters at Llangunnor and the new memorial, which had been researched by Kevin Smith along with some assistance from the West Wales War Memorials Project, was unveiled on Friday 28 November 2014.
