Victoria Police LGBTIQA+ Liaison Officers (LLOs) are a contact point for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer and asexual community members.
LLO roles and responsibilities
LLOs work to create mutual trust between police and LGBTIQA+ communities. They ensure we maintain a fair and equal policing service.
LLOs provide:
- non-judgemental advice
- discreet help when reporting a crime
- information about support services
- recommendations to our organisation on the policing needs of LGBTIQA+ people.
LLO’s are committed to building relationships and supporting LGBTIQA+ communities. They do this by:
- completing regular training and staying up to date with current and emerging issues
- considering LGBTIQA+ community perspectives in the review and development of Victoria Police policies, processes, and initiatives
- improving how we respond to incidents such as prejudice motivated crimes
- presenting to social and support groups on the role of LLOs, and how police and LGBTIQA+ communities work together.
Community events
It is important to us that LGBTIQA+ community members can hold and attend safe events.
We encourage event organisers to notify us about any upcoming events in advance. This allows you to discuss the safety plans of an event, and helps us identify community engagement opportunities, such as the presence of LLOs.
- For large events and festivals, email the Victoria Police State Event Planning Unit at STATEEVENTS-OIC@police.vic.gov.au.
- For small, local events, event organisers should contact the local police station in the area the event is being held.
If you would like an LLO to attend your event, please also email LLO-Coordinator-MGR@police.vic.gov.au.
For more information on how to plan and organise a safe event, see our events page.
Contact an LLO
You can request to speak to an LLO from a police station for advice and help. See the list of stations with an LLO from the four regions across Victoria.
If there are no LLOs listed at your local police station, you can ask to speak to a supervisor or contact a neighbouring police station.
Alternatively, contact LLO-Coordinator-MGR@police.vic.gov.au with your suburb or town to be directed to your local LLO.
