Taking the stand for the eye-witness

So what can we do when we witness street violence? What should we do? How do we find the right officer if we decide to tell the police what we saw? And what happens next?

Follow this Guidance and remember these simple steps and you'll brighten up the community and make it a safer place. The fact is the police aren’t everywhere and in incidents of street violence, by the time they arrive the damage has been done and the attackers will have made off. With attackers apprehended in 9% of cases of street violence, we will all pay a heavy price if we continue to walk on by. So this section gives more help on how we can turn the tables on street violence. It also provides links to official documents and films about being a witness. Please let us know how you think this Guidance can be improved.
