Indy police, fire forces reach out to LGBT people

INDIANAPOLIS — The public safety director for the city of Indianapolis has named a police officer and a fire department battalion chief to act as their departments' liaisons to the city's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.

Public Safety Director Frank Straub made the appointments Wednesday and said members of those communities also would help the departments in training of new recruits and existing members of the police and fire departments, as do members of racial, ethnic and other community groups.

Indianapolis activist David Stevens, founder of the group GetEqual Indiana, said Straub embraced the idea during a meeting last week with Stevens and other activists.
