Over 360,000 Londoners identify as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender (LGBT+) and to keep everyone in London safe we need strong links with all of our communities.
To build strong relations with LGBT+ people who live, work, study, visit and socialise in London we now have dedicated LGBT+ community liaison officers (CLOs) working in all regions of London. Their role is to:
Our LGBT+ CLOs are supported by a network of volunteer liaison officers who are police officers or members of police staff who perform the liaison role in addition to other duties. Many are passionate about supporting LGBT+ communities, have strong existing local connections and an understanding of historic community issues in their local area.
The easiest way to contact an LGBT+ CLO is to email your local officer. Please select the BCU which covers the relevant borough and contact them using the email address provided:
LGBT+ CLOS are keen to hear from you and can also be reached by calling the non-emergency number (101) or on Twitter @MetCC.
LGBT+ CLOs do not work 24 hours a day, seven days per week but will reply to you as soon as possible.
If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999.
The Met regularly consults the London LGBT+ Independent Advisory Group (IAG) which comprises independent members of the public providing advice and guidance on a range of policing issues and incidents.
The LGBT+ IAG was formed in 2000 following the tragic bombing of the Admiral Duncan Pub and has for many years established itself as a reliable independent voice of the LGBT+ community in London. Members come from diverse backgrounds and form a broad spectrum of lived experience.
