Created by the National Resource Center for Reaching Victims and FORGE, funded by the Office for Victims of Crime, this online resource is for law enforcement agencies to provide strategies to build trust with LGBTQ+ communities. This guide builds on the successful innovations, recommendations, and best practices of trailblazers in the field to help motivated departments continue the work. As community leaders, law enforcement not only have a responsibility to help LGBTQ+ communities access their share of safety and justice, but they also have a real opportunity to support full equality for all citizens.
