The Sacramento Police Department (SPD) is committed to an inclusive environment within its agency and the community at large. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, and All Other (LGBTQ+) individuals in our community have the right to live without fear of discrimination or harassment. It has taken years to overcome the strife and distrust generated generations ago.
SPD is proud of its accomplishments in building relationships and trust with our City’s LGBTQ+ community, including local area businesses as well as SPD’s own LGBTQ+ employees. SPD has established itself as a leader in LGBTQ+ community relations for law enforcement agencies, and our LGBTQ+ Liaison frequently fields calls from cities all over the nation asking for guidance and advice on how we reach out to our City’s LGBTQ+ community.
