Cumbria Police

February LGBT Webchat

Cumbria Police hosted an LGBT web chat on 7 February 2013 to mark Gay History month and encourage people from around the county to log on, ask questions or gain advice from the comfort of their homes. They didn’t have to provide their name so all questions or information were anonymous.  It was hoped people would log on, have their say and help Cumbria Police to stamp out hate crime in Cumbria.

The web chat was hosted by some of the county’s LAGLOs. It was hoped this meeting would be as successful as the last LGBT online meeting hosted in September 2012 where 70 viewers logged on, 33 comments were posted from the public and 59 people replayed the discussion after the meeting closed.

Hate Crime can also be reported on-line through the Cumbria Constabulary website at www.cumbria.police.uk or through the True Vision website at www.report-it.org.uk

Victims of transphobic hate crime can also report incidents online at: http://www.tcrime.net
