A police and crime commissioner has defended his force after a report found it had again failed to record thousands of crimes.
Inspectors issued a "cause for concern" notice after finding Dyfed-Powys Police had documented just 87.6% of reported crime.
The force had previously been told to improve two-and-a-half years ago.
But Dafydd Llywelyn said he had been "reassured" that victims were being safeguarded despite the findings.
Inspectors estimate 4,400 crimes are not recorded, including around 2,400 violent crimes and domestic abuse. Similar findings were identified in 2018.
