The Federal and State Police Commission for the Prevention of Crime

The Police Commission for the Prevention of Crime makes a fundamental contribution to improving security. An important way in which the Federal and State Police Commission for the Prevention of Crime does this is through the media and information it publishes and the campaigns it runs. These educate people on the issue of crime and offer recommendations on protection. Victims of criminal offences can find information here about criminal offences, their rights as victims, ways to obtain compensation and how criminal proceedings will progress.
