Eldorado Park SAPS encourages use of services provided to address crime
Victims and their families need to be made aware that these services were made available especially for them and that they need to make use of these services and not live in fear.
Communications officer of Eldorado Park SAPS, Constable Roxanne Gibb released the following statement regarding services that are available to the public.
Gibb shared: Despite the best efforts of the South African Police Service (SAPS) and the civil community members, crime and violence continue to impact our daily lives directly or indirectly. These impacts include physical, emotional, social, and economic challenges that affect not only the victims of crime but the lives of their relatives and those who are against these senseless acts.
We at Eldorado Park SAPS therefore remind the public that we have our victim empowerment center and our client service center that is made available to all for 24 hours, to facilitate access to a range of services that provide a sense of support, empowerment, and justice to victims of crime, including that of rape, murder, assault, domestic violence and more.
