The Colorado Anti-Violence Program (CAVP) is participating in Lambda Legal's survey campaign, "Protected and Served?: Survey of LGBT/HIV Contact with Police, Courts & Prisons" to document the experiences that LGBT people, and people living with HIV face when dealing with police, school security, courts and the prison system.  Respondents are encouraged to share their stories -- good and bad.

According to the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Program's report Hate Violence Against LGBTQ and HIV-Affected Communities in the United States in 2011, police comprised 9% of hate violence offenders. Hate violence from law enforcement can include refusal to take a complaint, harassment, discrimination, profiling, unjustified arrest, physical assault, entrapment, and sexual violence. According to the report, people of color under age 30 were 2.06 times as likely to experience police violence.  

LGBTQ survivors of violence as well as other residents of Colorado who are survivors of anti-LGBTQ violence, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity should know that there is assistance available. CAVP operates a statewide, confidential, 24-hour hotline that can be reached by calling 303-852-5094 or toll free at 1-888-557-4441.
