Message from ACC Gary Ritchie – 16 February 2023 Police Scotland is aware of increased community tensions and concerns within our LGBT+ communities following events and incidents across Scotland and the United Kingdom. Police Scotland is committed to keeping people safe and we have officers within your communities to provide reassurance and assistance. We will continue to monitor developments and work closely with local partners to ensure people and communities have the support required whenever they need it. Police Scotland has a zero tolerance approach to hate crime. If you have been targeted because of your disability, race, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity, we want you to report it. If you are aware of someone else being targeted, we also want you to report it. Contact us by calling 101, or 999 in an emergency. British Sign Language communities can utilise Contact Scotland BSL or the BSL 999 service. Other methods of contact include SMS 999 and Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. If you are a victim or witness to any crime or targeting of individuals and communities, this can also be reported using our online hate crime reporting form on the Police Scotland website or via one of our Third Party Reporting Centresedit.
