A NEW service to help victims of crime in Humberside has been launched.
Police and Crime Commissioner Keith Hunter announced yesterday that Victim Support - commissioned by South Yorkshire and Humberside Police - would help victims cope with their immediate experience and long-term recovery.
The service will work with partner organisations to offer continued support to victims.
Mr Hunter said: “There must be a strong support network for victims of crime both during and after the time they have contact with the police, and also for the many victims reluctant to report issues to the police or other agencies.”
