Police in Lethbridge, Alta., aim to be more transgender sensitive
LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — A police force in southern Alberta says it has made changes to how officers should interact with transgender individuals.
The Lethbridge Police Service heard concerns and received an official complaint last April after an officer posted a comment on his personal Facebook page about a transgender woman.
Dillon Hargreaves had been at a ceremony at the Alberta legislature on women’s suffrage and the Facebook post suggested her attendance was inappropriate.
“I think Dillon is very brave, however, I believe this makes a mockery of important women’s issues,” the post said.
