As we reported in our post on March 8, 2013, HALCO and the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network made submissions to the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police Diversity Committee in February 2013.
We are very pleased to report that the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police Best Practices in Policing and LGBTQ Communities in Ontario specifically refers to and incorporates recommendations made in our submissions.
The Best Practices in Policing and LGBTQ Communities in Ontario is available on the website of the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police: www.oacp.on.ca/Userfiles/Files/NewAndEvents/OACP%20LGBTQ%20final%20Nov2013.pdf.
Our submissions were informed by our shared experience in working on the issue of the criminalization of HIV non-disclosure in Canada. Our submissions (pdf) are on our website: www.halco.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Police-Criminalization-recomm_LN-HALCO_Feb2013.pdf.
