The Scottish LGBTI Police Association is an independent membership-based staff support network for LGBTI police officers and staff working in Scotland and those who support us regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The Association is the direct descendant of the Gay Police Association founded in 1990. We are, and always will remain, an independent police staff association.

Our Association was set up to represent the needs and interests of LGBTI police officers and staff in Scotland. We are officially recognised as such by the Scottish Government, Scottish Police Authority, Police Scotland and UK-wide police forces including British Transport Police, Ministry of Defence Police and Civil Nuclear Constabulary, as well as statutory police staff associations and trade unions.

We are holding an LGBTI focused recruitment event at Jackton Force Training Campus on Saturday, 26 October 2019 between 0930 and 1530 hours. This event is aimed at encouraging potential applicants towards considering a career in policing, either as a constable, special constable, or indeed police staff (as I am). Members of the LGBTI community are currently under-represented in Police Scotland, and our hope is that the event will inspire those in the community to consider a career in the policing family.
