The Germiston Special Victims Unit is ready and willing to assist victims.<\/p>\n
The team is all volunteers and residents in the Germiston area who offer their time and skills on crime scenes for emotional support, as well as at the Braveheart Victim Support Centre.<\/p>
All the unit\u2019s volunteers have received in-depth training in all areas of debriefing and defusing situations.<\/p>\n
The Braveheart Victim Support Centre is a separate environment within the Germiston Police Station where the atmosphere is more conducive to providing support to victims.<\/p>
