One of things to show my policing students next year. Made me hopeful despite the many problems that organisation continues to tackle with.

Watch on YouTube

See also the video from the Scottish Gay Police Association.

It's great that they've done these. I'd seen the first one before, but not the Scottish one, so thanks for linking it - it's better than the other one!

The videos made me remember the old chant, "2, 4, 6, 8, is the copper really straight?" It is amazing what a difference time makes, if you think that it isn't so long ago that Clause 28 (and other) protests pretty much actively pitted the police against LGBT people. It must have been particularly awful for anyone who was both, then.

Thanks for those, they are both lovely videos.

Unfortunately we don’t have the same level of acceptance here and active support for LGBT people within the Police, schools or other community services. Things are getting better gradually but we have a long way to go before catching up with the UK.

Impressive! Must watch the Scottish one later.
