Video guides

Police has produced a series of videos for victims of sexual assault that outlines what is involved in reporting a sexual assault to Police. We collaborated with various support agencies in creating these videos and our goal is that they become a useful resource, are widely shared and of course reach victims and others who can benefit most from their information.We also hope they alleviate some of the fears and myths around the reporting process as well as encourage more victims to come forward.
