Paragraph 71 Victim personal statementI1

You are entitled to make a VPS at the same time as giving a witness statement about what happened to the Service Police or commanding officer about a crime. When making your VPS, you are entitled to say whether or not you would like to have your VPS read aloud or played (where recorded), if the case is dealt with before a Service court and the suspect is found guilty. In such a case, you are also entitled to say whether you would like to read your VPS aloud yourself or to have it read aloud (usually by the Service Prosecuting Authority advocate).
