| Message of Support from The Metropolian Police Service | | Print | |
The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) is committed to making London safer for everyone, to meeting the needs of its citizens and providing a service to all of our communities. We recognise and acknowledge that within some communities people are marginalised for a range of reasons relating to their sexual orientation and/or cultural background and that people from these communities have historically not always had the confidence to engage with the MPS, particularly as victims of crime. In recent years however, there have been many positive changes in line with our commitment to ensure we are engaging with all our citizens. We continue to expand the numbers of our LGBT Liaison Officers across Boroughs and build on local arrangements put in place to ensure our pan-London services reach communities that need us most. We continue to develop initiatives to improve the investigation of homophobic/transphobic hate crime. It gives me great pleasure to support this year’s Outburst UK – Black Pride Festival on behalf of the MPS. We are proud to be part of an event that celebrates the contribution of individuals and organisations to our capital city and to the UK. It is also an opportunity for us to reflect on progress made and stand united for future challenges.
