The challenging of homophobia and
transphobia in Cheshire is the main target for the
70 LGBT
liaison officers within the Force.
The officers’ role includes helping to develop better
understanding of the LGBT communities and
encouraging people within those communities to interact with the
police. They also encourage the LGBT community to
report incidents against them and provide help and assistance to
victims.
The Force wants people to be confident that they will be treated
fairly and with respect and have a clear understanding that they
can report hate crime and incidents
directly to Cheshire Police, knowing that there are staff
adequately trained to deal with them.
