“Why does the LGBTQ2S community need a Pride Parade?” This question has been asked by many people over the years, including members of the York Regional Police. Although the question has become much less frequent in recent years, the response remains as relevant today as it was 30 years ago when the concept was less familiar. Police service delivery to all communities, and specifically to the LGBTQ2S (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and two-spirited) community, merits attention and entails the intention to build bridges and foster strong relationships. The parade represents not only celebration of a community, but also commemoration of a history reflective of violence, oppression, and victimization. The importance of policing from a perspective of respect and inclusivity is of continuing relevance. So what can police leaders do to build bridges with the LGBTQ2S community in the improved provision of service, while ensuring safety for all?
