2. Prevent police impersonation cases by adopting national standards to track and safely dispose of police uniform and kit, as well as to mitigate risks associated with the resale of decommissioned police vehicles.
3. Advocate for the implementation of victim-centred principles and a trauma-informed approach to police interventions and training, as well as legislation, in support of victims and survivors of gender-based violence.
