Transphobic Hate Incidents / Crime
Victims of transphobic hate incidents / crime can feel very vulnerable and may be reluctant to report incidents / crimes which they perceive to be committed out of prejudice or hatred because of their sexual orientation.

Bedfordshire Police has a support network of specially trained lesbian and gay liaison officers (laglos) to support victims and witnesses of homophobic and transgender hate incidents. These will work alongside trained hate crime investigators to provide a sensitive and appropriate service
