The Linden CPF is holding a briefing session for foreign language volunteers who have offered support during the Soccer World Cup.

These volunteers will provide translation assistance in the unfortunate event that a foreigner is involved in a crime or accident and is not comfortable with English.

To date the Linden CPF has received offers of support from 20 volunteers who speak German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Swahili, Greek, Swiss, Russian and Urdu Hindi Punjabi.

We are in need of more Portuguese and Spanish speaking volunteers.

The briefing session will be held at 7pm on Tuesday 20th of April at the Linden Police Station. The session will cover do's and don'ts at crime scenes; and common forms and their purpose.

The Linden CPF Victim Support team will coordinate the involvement of foreign language volunteers. They have the connections, structures and processes in place to do this effectively.

To volunteer, please send your contact details, language and availability to admin@lindensaps.co.za…. or... Just come along to the briefing session and sign up.
