Warwickshire Police

The Gay Police Association (GPA) exists to:

• Work towards equal opportunities for lesbian and gay police service employees
• Offer advice and support to lesbian and gay police service employees
• Promote better relations between the police service and the lesbian and gay community

The GPA was formed in 1990. Over 15 years it has grown into a formally recognised and respected staff association with members in all 52 UK police forces. The GPA is the only national organisation that specifically represents the needs and interests of gay police staff in the United Kingdom.

In addition to our work to support gay staff we also work to educate the police service and central government on all issues connected with sexual orientation and policing. This includes policy development, the investigation of homophobic hate crime, victim care, family and community liaison.
