Student safety

Hertfordshire Constabulary is committed to tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG), working with our partners so that women and girls can feel, and be, safe in the county.

VAWG includes a wide range of offences including domestic abuse, sexual offences, honour-based abuse, stalking, coercive control, spiking and even murder.

Across the county, we have a dedicated operation called Project Vigilant which aims to identify and intercept those who may be displaying predatory behaviour on nights out. Patrols are regularly carried out at busy venues across the county to help prevent sexual offences from happening.

We are looking for women to join our VAWG Independent Advisory Group (IAG) which focuses on four Ps - preparation to tackling VAWG, prevention of VAWG, protection of those affected and pursuit of perpetrators
