Clarke, Ms M to ask the Minister of Police

Why does the Elsburg Police Station Victim Empowerment Centre not have a waiting room with a counsellor present as well as a room with a bed or cot in an environment that makes the victim feel safe, as the relevant rooms and office are utilised by office staff and not victim empowerment personnel?

Reply:

One of the offices of the Elsburg Police Station Victim Empowerment Centre was temporarily used as a communication office. However, the office was recently vacated and the centre is now fully established, with a waiting room and a room furnished with a cot and bed. In addition, there is a bathroom fitted with a shower, basin and toilet.

Trained Community Policing Forum (CPF) counsellors are available, on standby, to assist victims.
