North Yorkshire Police has today issued an apology for any historical discriminatory behaviour that the LGBTQ+ community were subjected to by any members of the force.
The apology came in response to a request from Peter Tatchell, director of the Peter Tatchell Foundation, a charity that promotes human rights.
Mr Tatchell called for all police forces to apologise for their historical treatment of the LGBTQ+ community.
Mr Tatchell said:
Acting chief constable Elliot Foskett (left) and superintendent Ed Hayward-Noble, the strategic lead for LGBTQ+.
In his response letter, acting chief constable Elliot Foskett said:
ACC Foskett added Pride events were a "valuable opportunity for us to engage positively with our LGBTQ+ communities".
