Book excerpt: Coming Out from Behind the Badge is a book intended to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBTQ+) law enforcement and other professional first responders who are seeking a way to "come out" and be successful on the job. It is also intended to educate heterosexuals (persons attracted to the opposite sex) and cisgender people (persons who identify their gender in a way that is consistent with their birth sex) to better understand differences in sexual orientation and gender identity and how to support their colleagues. In addition, this edition of Coming Out from Behind the Badge was written to support students who are preparing for a career in law enforcement and those already in the field seeking a better understanding of a large segment of the community which law enforcement serves. The book is intended to serve as a text for instructors providing LGBT awareness training for law enforcement and other first responders. It is an ideal read for law enforcement leaders and executives who seek a better understanding of how to create an inclusive workplace for LGBTQ+ employees. It includes instruction for how a law enforcement agency can build a trusting relationship with the community and how to create an LGBT Liaison Program.
