What is the Role of VCCP Volunteers?
Victim Care Officers (VCOs) are community volunteers who work alongside the Singapore Police Force to support victims of crime, including victims of sexual crimes, scams and other offences of crime throughout the investigation process. VCOs will be trained to provide a listening ear and to look out for these victims, who may be struggling to cope in the aftermath of the trauma.
As a VCO, you will provide psychological first aid and crisis intervention to victims and advise them on how to cope with trauma. You may also support those going through court proceedings.

You will need to meet these criteria:
- Singapore Citizen or Permanent Resident
- Aged 21 or above
