About the Victim Support Team
Our aim is to provide victims of crime with the best possible support.
Following the report of a crime, the Victim Support Team (VST) will make contact with a victim and provide all necessary support and guidance throughout the investigative process and beyond. This support will be tailored to that individual’s particular needs and circumstances.
As well as the officer dealing with the case, the VST will offer a point of contact for any updates in the investigation and will answer any questions that the victim may have.
Working with partner agencies and organisations, the VST will connect the victim with all the available supportive services, ensuring that the victim will feel reassured and protected.
At the end of the process, the victim will be invited to complete a survey so that their feedback can be used to improve the service that is provided by the RGP.

DC 188 Tarnya Minter
I have served in the Royal Gibraltar Police for the past 12 years. At first, I was a Response Team officer and then I transferred to the Community Policing Team, where I worked for eight years. For the past two years, I have worked in Resource Management, before moving to my current role in the Victim Support Team. During my time as a Community Policing Officer, we helped support victims of crime, and I hope to use this valuable experience in my new role.
DC 48 Mojib Benhakim
I have spent 10 years in the Royal Gibraltar Police, having served as a Response Officer and in the Marine Section for the majority of my career. Being fluent in English, Spanish and Arabic has helped me in my time in these departments. However, I feel I can make more use of these skills in the VST. Having moved across to the VST, I feel I can give more back to the community in this new role.
