“SPD Safe Place,” an effort to reduce crimes against people based on their sexual orientation was announced Thursday by Seattle Mayor Ed Murray and Police Chief Kathleen O’Toole.
“Seattle welcomes all people,” Murray said. “There is no place for bigotry or harassment in our city. We developed Safe Place so that businesses and community organizations can visibly stand up against intolerance and provide shelter to victims.”
SPD Safe Place is a voluntary program providing businesses and organizations with decals and information on how to report malicious harassment, more commonly known as hate crimes.
Training includes when and how to call 911, how to shelter victims of crime until police arrive and proactive outreach about working with the police department’s LGBT liaison officer.
