Wyndham’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) communities – we have you covered.
That’s the message from Senior Sergeant Peter Bitton and First Constable Miranda Spain, Werribee police’s very own gay and lesbian liaison officers (GLLOs).
The pair are reigniting the GLLO program, which was first established in 2000.
Senior Sergeant Bitton said police wanted the LGBTI community to feel comfortable with coming to police for help and assistance.
“For that community to come in and report something, it’s quite sensitive,” he said.
“They don’t feel that they get treated properly, so we’ve put in specific officers to deal with it.”
Anyone from the LGBTI community can ask to speak to a GLLO at Werribee police station.
