Victim and Witness Services
If you are a victim or witness you do not need to deal with it
alone. Being a victim of any of the above, giving evidence against
someone else or going to court are things that are
difficult for anyone to deal with.
The good news is, support is there for you. Your local
police and council officers are there to support you along the way
and guide you to any further support services that you might
need.
You can also contact Victim Support (Kent) on 0845
389 9527, who will be happy to talk to you and arrange a visit if
you would prefer.

Giving you information about local
offenders
The Casey report highlighted that people feel safer and more
confident in their community if they are kept informed. Information
and updates about local convictions can be found in the free
local paper, Kent Police newsletters and in leaflets that are
delivered to the local community when an offence has taken place
near by and an offender has been convicted.
