Chief Executive of Victim Support, Javed Khan
Javed Khan, Chief Executive of Victim Support, took part in a panel discussion at the Police Federation 2012 Conference in Bournemouth on Tuesday 15 May.
In response to questions around victims and proposed changes to policing he said:
“On behalf of the many millions of victims we need a clear balance of realism versus fears. The realism is that we live in an age of severe austerity and a fiscal crisis and that does require change and reform. Whichever government comes into play will have to deal with that.
“There are significant fears for victims. They need a highly committed and motivated police force they can turn to at their time of crisis. Any change that doesn’t maintain a highly motivated police force that has good morale amongst its ranks leads to many fears for victims who need to rely on the police.”
