The first meeting of the Sussex Police, county wide, external reference group for LGB people is planned on Monday, January 15, 2012 at Horsham Police Station, Hurst Road, Horsham, West Sussex RH12 2DJ from 6.30pm.

The aim of the group is to be representative both demographically and geographically of LGB people in Sussex.

If you wish to attend it is important to contact Sergeant Peter Allan, tel: 101 ext. 81255 or mobile 07867 501150.

The police see the purpose of the group to be a critical friend to Sussex Police in relation to LGB matters.

The police say the group will not be owned or run by Sussex Police and they see their role as supporting the aims and objectives of the membership of the group.

The police acknowledge that the quality of service they provide directly affects their success as a police force. Communities that are confident in the police are more likely to report crime, provide information and act as witnesses.

The main aims of the group will be to:
•    Ensure Sussex Police is representing the LGB community in an             appropriate way that reflects current trends within the community
•    Ensure the LGB community continues to have a high level of trust in
Sussex Police
•    To be able to advise senior officers in terms of policy concerning the LGB community, including police tactics
•    To encourage members to raise issues concerning the LGB community and bring them to the attention of the police
•    To consider possible projects/ to create partnership working
•    To ensure that the LGB community has a voice within Sussex Police
