More services are to be offered in a victim care centre and the police are asking the public for their views.

The Beacon Victim Care Centre, for those who are victims of crime, is offered in partnership with the Hertfordshire Constabulary and is asking the public to give their opinions on how the service can be changed and what they would like to see improved and added.

The service launched in 2015 and has since supported more than 126,000 victims of crime with both emotional and practical support.

Some new additions to the service could be more specialised support for those people who have been the victim of domestic abuse, sexual assault, hate crime, "honour" based abuse, fraud and cybercrime.

Kevin McGetrick, head of victim’s commissioning for the Police and Crime Commissioner said: "Beacon has been a very successful unit since we launched it, and we now have an exciting opportunity to expand our operations even further.

"This will include improved outreach and access opportunities, as we are aware that not all victims are in a position to report a crime, or may not wish to deal directly with local authorities.

"We need to ensure flexibility so that those harmed by crime can seek the support they are entitled, regardless of their personal circumstances."

The consultation on new services for the victim care centre closes on October 16, with the centre's contract ending in March, where decision based on the consultation will be implemented.
