The Singapore Police Force will be piloting a new voluntary Victim Care Cadre next year where members of the public will be trained by police psychologists to provide care services for victims.

Victims of crime, especially those of violent or sexual crimes, will be supported by Victim Care Officers at the Victim Care Cadre.

“Having a dedicated group of Victim Care Officers to provide direct moral support will help victims return to normalcy, while allowing police officers to focus their resources on investigations,” said Second Minister for Home Affairs S Iswaran.

The police are currently recruiting voluntary Victim Care Officers for the Victim Care Cadre.
