Summary
"The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police’s (OACP) Diversity Committee is pleased to provide Best
Practices in Policing and LGBTQ Communities in Ontario as a resource document for police services
across the Province of Ontario. This resource for Ontario police services is a living document and
will be updated with new information over time. This is the first document of its kind published in
Canada, and the OACP Diversity Committee hopes that it will serve as a model for other jurisdictions
in Canada and abroad.
Best Practices in Policing and LGBTQ Communities in Ontario will assist police services to proactively
develop inclusive workplaces for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) police personnel
and to develop and maintain relationships with members of LGBTQ communities."--Page 2.
