Colvin tracks the evolution of police agencies toward being more "gay friendly" both as employers and as service providers. He also provides insights into the day-to-day barriers and opportunities that lesbian and gay officers experience working within organizations that traditionally have been hostile to them. Integrating quantitative and qualitative research, he offers a compelling demonstration that police agencies can best fulfill their missions when they are representative of the communities they serve. 606 $aGay police officers$zUnited States 606 $aGay police officers$zGreat Britain 606 $aLesbian police officers$zUnited States 606 $aLesbian police officers$zGreat Britain 606 $aDiscrimination in law enforcement$zUnited States 606 $aDiscrimination in law enforcement$zGreat Britain 615 0$aGay police officers 615 0$aGay police officers 615 0$aLesbian police officers 615 0$aLesbian police officers 615 0$aDiscrimination in law enforcement 615 0$aDiscrimination in law enforcement 676 $a363.2086/64 700 $aColvin$b Roddrick A.$01652500 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820357303321 996 $aGay and lesbian cops$94003193 997 $aUNINA
