Victims of Crime

As Police and Crime Commissioner, Steve Turner has responsibility for commissioning services to support victims of crime. Victims may have suffered domestic abuse, sexual violence, illegal cultural harms, exploitation or any number of offences.

It is more important than ever that we reassure victims of, or witnesses to, crime, and their families where appropriate, that support is available to help them cope with the immediate aftermath of the crime and address, where possible, any long term recovery needs.

Please contact any of the services below for help and assistance if you need it – they are there to help.
