The most significant and contemporary issues related to work place harassment and discrimination facing law enforcement and the fire service involve the acceptance of employees who “come out” or who are suspected of being gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, or transgender.  Discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation continues to pose a significant threat of liability for public safety agencies.

Laws and policies alone will not prevent discrimination and harassment from happening in the work place.  The most effective way of changing the hearts and minds of offenders is with training, open discussion, and dialogue.

More About Customized Training Programs And Services

We can work with your agency or organization to design a speaking program or training program to meet the specific needs of your personnel.  Our experts can help guide the change of a culture of homophobia to one that is accepting and supportive for LGBT employees.  Our team includes straight and LGBT public safety professionals who are skilled at facilitating change through training and awareness.

We do not offer the courses listed at the top of this page in a virtual format over Zoom or other online meeting space. We do have a collection of interactive fully online classes that are self-paced for use when an in-person presentation is not available.

If you are looking for a virtual presentation, we will provide a one-hour program for “lunch time” trainings that offers a focus on either LGBTQ+ terminology or LGBTQ+ history with law enforcement. Both formats include an overview of Out to Protect and our work as well as time for questions and answers. This is an ideal program if your agency is exploring options for how to provide LGBT awareness training. Click here to send us a inquiry.
