Interview with Victoria Police GLLOs




JOY 94.9 (Transmission Time) show

Summary: Program 312: Jayne and Lauren talk with Sergeant Scott Davis and Senior Constable Gabrielle Tyacke of Victoria Police’s Gay and Lesbian Liaison Officer [GLLO] unit. In this interview we discuss the background and purpose of the GLLO unit and its relevance to the transgender community. We discuss how a transgendered person would be treated by Victoria Police by proposing that Jayne has been misbehaving and has been detained and then arrested. While this is a light hearted discussion, it explains general police policies around questioning, identification, search, arrest and detention of transgender people. We also raise the proverbial question of transgendered people using public restrooms and department store change rooms when purchasing clothes.
