DENVER — The Denver Police Department has become the first law enforcement agency in the state to have certified liaisons for the LGBTQ+ community.

Lieutenant Michelle Folmar, one of the newly certified liaisons, said she and her wife have always felt supported by the “family” of DPD officers. However, she knows that's not everyone’s lived experience, which is why she is proud to be a part of this program. “One of the things that Out to Protect really focuses on is how to, one, identify what a bias-motivated crime is, how to investigate it, how to work with our other law enforcement partners,” she explained. “And then, most importantly, how to make the community safe and how to give resources to folks who aren’t feeling safe.”

“I believe, when we learn more about all of our diverse lived experiences — and by having that communication, and by having that partnership and familiarity — that in and of itself is how we continue to make the community as a whole safe,” Folmar said.
