lapd sponsors gay games vii
When the competition commences at the Seventh Gay Games in Chicago this July, officers of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in uniform will be marching with the assembled athletes opening the GAY GAMES VII SPORTS AND CULTURAL FESTIVAL. The games run July 15-22, 2006, and sponsorship by the LAPD marks a first for any major metropolitan police force.
While in Chicago for the games, the LAPD Recruitment Unit will be talking to interested persons about joining the force. With efforts such as this, the LAPD hopes to continue and increase its commitment to diversity within its ranks.
