Police officially re-opened the "victim friendly room" to provide emotional support to victims of crime and violence. Andrew Anthony CEO from BAC said by addressing the residents at the Shawco Community Centre, near the police station, the elderly, poor, women and children were most vulnerable to crime. But the sad reality was that crime occurred in house and communities where the victims live, but the remained silent about it.
