UPDATE:North Wales Police has said the power outage at one of their sites in St Asaph is now restored and normal service has been resumed.

Paul Joyce, Superintendent of Operational Support Services said “I would like to thank the public for their support during the time of the power outage and I would also like to thank our staff, both frontline and behind the scenes for working tirelessly and professionally to ensure that we still provided high level public service during this time.”

North Wales Police have suffered a power outage at one of their sites in St Asaph, believed to be the building that houses the control rooms, and they are asking the public to assist them by only contacting them regarding emergency calls and avoid contacting the police for non-urgent calls during this time.

Paul Joyce, Superintendent of Operational Support Services said “We prepare for this type of event and our business continuity plans have been activated in order to continue to operate effectively and keep disruption to a minimum.

Engineers have been instructed and are on route to rectify the issue as soon as possible.

Today’s outage follows a period of ‘exceptional’ demand last night where the public were advised only to call when necessary.
