caused by, discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation; guidelines for
interacting with the lesbian and gay communities in general; assisting lesbian and gay
victims; proper handling of individuals accused or suspected of criminal activity who may
be lesbian or gay; appropriate and inappropriate uses of force; interacting with individuals
who are or may be infected with HIV or AIDS; and interacting with other LAPD
employees who may be lesbian or gay.
There also should be units on, among other topics: sexual orientation hate crimes;
battering in lesbian and gay relationships; prohibitions on harassment of gay and lesbian
clients, employees, and owners of gay and lesbian bars, bookstores, restaurants and other
establishments frequented by lesbians and gay men through unjustified surveillance, stops,
and arrests; and HIV infection and AIDS.
Training should include questions designed to indicate appropriate and
inappropriate methods of dealing with field incidents involving lesbians and gay men.
Training also must emphasize that both discrimination and harassment on the basis of
sexual orientation are illegal and violate LAPD policy; that those involved in discriminatory
or harassing activities will be dealt with swiftly and severely; and that such discrimination
and harassment is considered a major and serious offense, which will result in discipline,
including possible suspension or discharge of the offender. Training and trainers must no
longer be allowed to be the subject of jokes or belittlement.
Much of the progress from racism in this country came about through the
integration of the Armed Forces after World War II and the end to segregation in public
