LBT-friendly NZ Police Contacts If you need to contact the NZ Police on a matter that is sensitive due to your sexuality, here are the contacts. Although most NZ police force members are GLBT-friendly, the following officers are especially trained to handle GLBT issues.

(Warning it is a 2MB PDF, so may take some time to download (all 86 pages of it) GLBTI Policy has worked in conjunction with Whitireia Community Law Centre to produce an online legal resource for lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, takataapui, fa'afafine, transsexual, transgender and intersex people (and anyone else who doesn't fit into heterosexual or gender norms!).
The resource is housed on the Community Law Centre website - currently on its front page at http://www.communitylaw.org.nz/. You will see that the resource covers a broad range of legislation and drills down into some of the areas that are more specific to the target audience, such as legal parenting and guardianship issues, and legal identity documents.
The resource will be updated to incorporate changes to legislation and hopefully new areas will be developed. It would be great to receive your feedback to know what you find useful and where you would like to see further work. Please send all content feedback to the email address in the resource introduction, ie commlaw@wnc.quik.co.nz.
