Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual support
A Merseyside Police GLSN stand
Merseyside Police works closely with partners across Merseyside to effectively deal with hate crime.
All too often many victims prefer to suffer in silence and over the last few years the Force has been proactively encouraging victims of hate crime to come forward. There are various ways to report a hate crime:
999 in an emergency
Merseyside Police switchboard – 0151 709 6010
On line – via the Force website
Independent Charity Stop Hate UK – 0800 138 1625
Local authority help lines e.g. Knowsley - 0800 953 4433
Third party reporting centres e.g. Armistead in Liverpool or Terrence Higgins Trust, Birkenhead
Local Police hate crime drop-ins:
Masquerade Club in Liverpool on the first Tuesday of every month.
Armistead in Liverpool on the third Tuesday of the month.
Flex in St Helens, every Wednesday evening.
Merseyside Police has a duty to protect all members of the public and we are especially concerned with protecting people who are vulnerable to attacks because of their racial origin, disabilities, religion, sexuality or gender identity. The Force is committed to the belief that everyone has the right to be treated with fairness, dignity and respect.
