<strong>Berlin</strong>
Welcome to <strong>Berlin</strong>
e a part of us
Ladies and gentlemen,<br />
Through this brochure we would like to introduce the<br />
<strong>2014</strong> EGPA conference.<br />
About 200 policemen and women from all over Europe<br />
and the USA will be taking part in the <strong>2014</strong> conference in<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong>. We will be looking at Eastern Europe – particularly<br />
Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.<br />
Russia is to be given a special signal.<br />
I warmly invite you to take part in the conference or<br />
support our organisation.<br />
Be a part of us should be seen as an invitation to female<br />
and male police officers from throughout Europe who<br />
want to work together with us for equal rights and against<br />
discrimination on account of sexual orientation.<br />

Welcoming Speech<br />
by the Governing Mayor of <strong>Berlin</strong>, Klaus Wowereit,<br />
It is my pleasure to welcome all participants to the<br />
European Gay Police Association Congress in the<br />
German capital.<br />
Through the <strong>Berlin</strong> Congress, the EGPA is sending out<br />
an important signal condemning homophobic<br />
discrimination and violence and endorsing legal equality<br />
and general social acceptance of different lifestyles.<br />
Above all it offers policemen and women from all over<br />
Europe and the USA a platform for networking and<br />
exchanging experiences. Such a meeting is an<br />
encouragement to all those who strive for a police force<br />
that does not sit back and watch homosexual, lesbian,<br />
bisexual and transgender people being attacked. It is a<br />
police force that provides information on risks and<br />
therefore pursues prevention and, above all, a police<br />
force that is an advocate of equal rights and that<br />
opposes discrimination based on sexual orientation.
In 2013, in all manner of ways, we in <strong>Berlin</strong> drew<br />
attention to the transfer of power to the Nazis and the<br />
destruction of diversity 80 years ago. This included the<br />
remembrance of homosexuals who were persecuted<br />
during the Nazi era.<br />
Today, almost 25 years since the <strong>Berlin</strong> Wall came down,<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong> is connected with its reputation as a cosmopolitan<br />
and tolerant capital. But one must not forget: even here it<br />
took decades until homosexuals were no longer<br />
criminally prosecuted or excluded. And discrimination<br />
and hostility still exist. The road to complete equality is<br />
long and stony. What matters is support for those, no<br />
matter where they are, who fly the flag with selfconfidence<br />
and stand up for a free and tolerant society<br />
as well as state institutions that protect freedom.
Bearing this in mind, I wish the EGPA Congress every<br />
success and an encouraging conference from which an<br />
unmistakable message in support of equality and<br />
acceptance of different lifestyles radiates. I wish all<br />
participants a pleasant stay in <strong>Berlin</strong>.<br />

Dr. Thomas Maizière, MdB<br />
(Member of the Bundestag /<br />
German Federal Parliament)<br />
Minister of the Interior
Dear participants of the 7th EGPA <strong>Conference</strong>,<br />
Germany is an open-minded and cosmopolitan nation<br />
with a society that neither accepts nor tolerates people<br />
being debased or disadvantaged on account of their<br />
sexual identity.<br />
Even so, homosexuals still encounter people’s<br />
reservations, discrimination and even hostility. Very often<br />
these injustices are the result of ignorance and<br />
insecurity. Each one of us and the whole of society are<br />
requested to decidedly counteract them. Discrimination<br />
against people – no matter what the reason is – is<br />
incompatible with the society in which we would like to<br />
live. The onus here is on politicians in particular and the<br />
police and legal authorities where necessary. And also<br />
on the homosexuals themselves who individually and<br />
collaboratively demand the obvious - equal treatment. It<br />
is still difficult for some. I have great respect for those<br />
who, in spite of their fears and worries, summon up the<br />
courage to do so. In order to help them it is important for<br />
social interest groups such as your association to<br />
espouse the rights of homosexuals in all sectors of<br />
society.
This applies especially to the police. Citizens quite rightly<br />
expect the police to be particularly approachable and<br />
protective of minority rights.<br />
Thus your association both makes a huge difference and<br />
demonstrates that the police play a major role in<br />
protecting homosexuals from discrimination on account<br />
of their sexual orientation.<br />
I would like to thank you for your dedication and<br />
commitment and wish the 7th EGPA conference every<br />
success.<br />

German Federal Parliament)<br />

Klaus Kandt<br />
Police Chief in <strong>Berlin</strong>
Dear Participants,<br />
It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 7th<br />
EGPA <strong>Conference</strong> <strong>2014</strong> in <strong>Berlin</strong>.<br />
3.5 million people live in our city. Many of them differ, for<br />
example, on account of their background, the colour of<br />
their skin, their sexual identity or their religion. <strong>Berlin</strong> is<br />
known to be open, colourful and tolerant. Yet there is<br />
still, even here, discrimination or even incidents of<br />
violence towards people who are seen to be “different”. It<br />
is our duty to clearly signal our disapproval of this<br />
hostility. Your conference offers the possibility to tackle<br />
the way the police force deals with hate crime, to learn<br />
from each other and to develop ways in which the<br />
phenomenon of homophobia and transphobia can be<br />
combatted.
In addition, the police are also a mirror image of society.<br />
In the early 1990s homosexuality was, even within the<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong> police force, hushed up or ignored. Since then,<br />
society and also many police authorities have gradually<br />
opened up. We owe this development to the courageous<br />
people who have stood up for the interests of<br />
homosexual and transsexual colleagues.<br />
At this point I would like to thank you for your<br />
involvement and commitment and encourage you to<br />
continue your work. I will gladly support you.<br />
I wish all conference participants and organizers a<br />
stimulating exchange, inspiring contacts and a very<br />
pleasant stay in <strong>Berlin</strong>.<br />
With kind regards,<br />
Klaus Kandt<br />
Police Chief in <strong>Berlin</strong>
Arne Feuring<br />
Police Chief of Brandenburg
These days same-sex lifestyles are part of everyday life<br />
and need to be fully tolerated and accepted, also by<br />
members of the police force. Many Brandenburg<br />
policemen and -women work in Brandenburg and live in<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong>. As Chief of Police of the federal state of<br />
Brandenburg I endorse open-minded, tolerant,<br />
constantly new and refreshing encounters with oneanother.<br />
The federal state of <strong>Berlin</strong> and Brandenburg are<br />
continually finding new areas of cooperation, thus<br />
spreading awareness and transparency throughout<br />
Brandenburg with lesbians, homosexuals and bisexual<br />
members of the community with their flamboyant<br />
diversity and particular vitality in mind.<br />
The EGPA conference offers manifold possibilities for<br />
transferring knowledge and opens chances for pursing<br />
equality for those who lead alternative lifestyles.
I am delighted that the <strong>2014</strong> conference is taking place<br />
in <strong>Berlin</strong> and that colleagues in the Brandenburg police<br />
force are involved in preparations.<br />
As Chief of Police of the federal state of Brandenburg I<br />
wish all the conference participants a lively exchange of<br />
experiences and, with this in mind, an eventful,<br />
informative event.<br />
By the Chief of Police, Brandenburg
Boardmeeting 2013 Den Haag
The European Gay Police Association (EGPA) is an<br />
international police network for LGBTTI (lesbian, gay,<br />
bisexual, transsexual and intersexual) members of the<br />
police force in over 12 different countries.<br />
The network was founded in 2004 in Amsterdam. Since<br />
2005 international conferences have been held in<br />
various European capitals. The EGPA is represented by<br />
the Chairman, Hermann RENES, of the Dutch police<br />
force.<br />
*LGBTTI (Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transsexuell-TransgenderiIntersexuell)
In 1994, shortly after Section 175 of the German criminal law code<br />
was retracted, the <strong>Berlin</strong> journalist Jens DOBLER initiated the first<br />
federal seminar in Göttingen which around 30 police officers attended.<br />
The same year lesbian and homosexual societies, often with different<br />
names, were founded in several federal German states. In order to<br />
protect interests on a national level, all the federal societies adopted<br />
the same name “VelsPol” which stands for “Verein lesbischer und<br />
schwuler Polizeibediensteter” (Society of Lesbian and Homosexual<br />
members of the Police Force) and joined the umbrella organization<br />
“Verband lesbischer und schwuler Polizeibediensteter” (Association<br />
of Lesbian and Homosexual members of the Police Force) in 2002.<br />
This enabled work to start on a national level. In order to represent<br />
German interests on a European level, VelsPol Deutschland<br />
(VelsPol Germany) joined the EGPA.
VelsPol-Deutschland e.V - Board.
The exchange of knowledge, experience and information<br />
concerning the position of LGBTTI police officers in European<br />
police forces is one of the main tasks of the EGPA.<br />
Additional tasks are:<br />
The promotion of international surveys and educational<br />
programmes with regard to the topics that are crucial for the<br />
inclusion and success of LGBTTI police workers in European<br />
police forces.<br />
The promotion of initiatives which help to set up and support<br />
national networks for LGBTTI members of the police force in<br />
their various countries, particularly in Eastern Europe.<br />
Encouraging LGBTTI police workers to support each other.<br />
Compiling training concepts that combat hate crime.<br />
Joining forces with other LGBTTI organisations.
U.S. Embassy Brussels 2013
The EGPA board of directors consists of at least five<br />
natural persons from at least three different European<br />
countries and meets on average two to three times a<br />
year.<br />
The most active representatives in the EGPA are at<br />
present Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the<br />
Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Switzerland whilst<br />
Austria, Denmark, England (GB), Scotland (GB),<br />
Portugal and Sweden support the cause. Montenegro,<br />
Serbia, Poland and Hungary are interested in a<br />
cooperative partnership.<br />
A LGBTI event is usually held simultaneously in the same<br />
town that hosts the EGPA meeting. The meetings are<br />
usually officially opened and attended by government<br />
ministers, high-ranking police officers and mayors.
U.S. Embassy Brussels 2013
The national member organisations are meanwhile<br />
reliable partners whom national governments and interior<br />
ministers respectively can consult.<br />
In October 2010 the Italian network POLIS APERTA was<br />
founded in Rome.<br />
In March 2011 the network was presented to highranking<br />
Swiss police officers in Zurich.<br />
In September 2011 a Dutch delegation of the EGPA took<br />
part in an international conference “Towards Europe –<br />
Towards Equality” for members of the police force in<br />
Podgorica, Montenegro.<br />
In November 2011 representatives of the EGPA took part<br />
in the international conference “Building a Queer and<br />
Tolerant Neighbourhood” which was opened by the<br />
Governing Mayor of <strong>Berlin</strong>.
IDAHO-<strong>Conference</strong> 2013 Den Haag
December 2011 saw the participation in the international<br />
conference “Joining Forces to Combat Homophobic and<br />
Transphobic Violence in Europe” which was opened by<br />
the Dutch Minister Marja van Bijsterveld and Secretary of<br />
State Fred Teeven.<br />
In March 2013 the European Gay Police Association<br />
(EGPA) assisted at the “International Day Against<br />
Racism and Discrimination.<br />
Rainbow Cops Belgium, the American Embassy and the<br />
US Mission to the EU discussed the topic “Tackling<br />
LGBTTI Discrimination in the International Policing<br />
Context and Promote Protection of LGBTTI Rights<br />
Europe-wide”. Here, EGPA board members and partners<br />
discussed how collaboration with police associations in<br />
Romania, Serbia, Croatia, Poland and Finland etc. could<br />
work and how LGBTTI networks could be founded in<br />
these countries.
Reception by the Irish President 2012
In May 2013 the EGPA took part in the international<br />
IDAHO <strong>Conference</strong> “International Day against<br />
Homophobia” in Den Haag. Training programmes used<br />
by various countries in their fight against hate crime were<br />
presented and improved in workshops. The EGPA<br />
delegation was met by Queen Maxima who acquainted<br />
herself with the work done by networks.

Hate Crime in Germany and the coverage problems<br />
In a two-part survey, the MANEO study brought to light the number of<br />
unreported cases of homophobic offences in <strong>Berlin</strong> and in areas of other<br />
towns in Germany.<br />
The results of a survey carried out by a police cadet from Baden-<br />
Württemberg partly confirmed the MANEO study. Two factors leading to<br />
the number of unreported cases are police officers’ lack of knowledge on<br />
homosexuality and transsexuals and also on the prerequisites for<br />
recording such criminal offences.<br />
A further factor is the reservations the gay community has towards the<br />
police.<br />
The objective is for an exchange among those responsible in the BKA<br />
(central organization for combating and investigating crime in Germany)<br />
on problems recording such crimes.
Dr. Tatjana Zimenkova<br />
Universität Bielefeld.<br />
The presentation poses the question towards the Institutions, mechanisms and Interests<br />
behind the spreading and maintaining homophobia in societal structures. The presentation<br />
does not reduce homophobia as acts of hate and violence, but asks, for which institutions<br />
and organizations the homophobic thoughts and actions might be profitable, asking<br />
which goals can different organizations and institutions reach with help of homophobic<br />
thought and through consolidating (their members, other instructions etc.) against the<br />
members of the LGBTTQ-community. Finally the presentation seeks to demonstrate,<br />
what might be done against such consolidations.
Diversity in management and business<br />
Difference and diversity of employees<br />
are often used by the public administration and business<br />
not yet perceived as an opportunity - diversity can be a chance!<br />
Speakers from the business and NGO `s
Presentation of the liaison officers for samesex<br />
lifestyles and homophobic crimes<br />
prosecutors and police <strong>Berlin</strong>/ Brandenburg<br />
As early as the beginning of the 90s there was a<br />
police liaison officer for same-sex lifestyles in<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong>. In the meantime the Department of Public<br />
Prosecution also has set up a comparable post<br />
which is unique in Europe.<br />
The objective is to introduce the two centres and<br />
their tasks, problems and concepts.<br />
Speakers: Representatives from the Department<br />
of Public Prosecution; Representa-tives of the<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong> police force; Representatives of the<br />
Brandenburg police force.
Transgender and transsexuality in the police and society<br />
In the light of a transphobic incident in the <strong>Berlin</strong> police, the reactions of<br />
the police leadership and the possibilities of further training for police<br />
officers should be dis-cussed.<br />
The objective is to prepare a concept for further training for the police and<br />
legal au-thorities which should be made available to European police<br />
authorities.<br />
Speakers: Representatives from Trans, the Dutch police<br />
Homosexuality in the workplace<br />
Since many VIPs, politicians and people from all manner of social groups<br />
have start-ed coming out, lesbians’ and homosexuals’ living situations<br />
have changed in many areas. However, the situation of transsexuals has<br />
not changed.<br />
Could anti-discrimination laws, anti-bullying agreements and statutory<br />
equality change something here?<br />
Discussion with representatives from the federal anti-discrimination office.
EGPA - A network<br />
EGPA 2004-<strong>2014</strong> – 10 years. A network introduces itself. The<br />
individual federal or-ganizations introduce themselves and their<br />
work.<br />
Speakers: Chairmen and -women and representatives from the<br />
federal organizations.<br />
Homosexuality in Turkey - Living Dangerously?<br />
In Turkey homosexuality has never been forbidden. Even in the<br />
Ottoman Empire people were not prosecuted for same-sex love.<br />
In theory discrimination is constitu-tionally forbidden. However,<br />
the reality is different. Gay men, lesbian women, trans-vestites<br />
and transsexuals feel subjected to multifaceted discrimination<br />
and social ostracism. What role do the police play?<br />
Speaker: Hakan TAS, Member of Parliament in the <strong>Berlin</strong> House<br />
of Representatives.
Dealing with homosexuality / transsexuality in Eastern Europe<br />
Since the Iron Curtain came down 25 years ago, homophobic and<br />
transphobic crimes in the former Eastern Bloc countries have become<br />
apparent.<br />
Up until only a few years ago, political demonstrations in connection with<br />
CSD were used as an opportunity for security staff to attack LSBTTIQs<br />
(lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, intersexual and<br />
queer people).<br />
Last year the Russian government brought out a law prohibiting<br />
‘propaganda near children’, making homosexuality a punishable offence.
Boris Dittrich<br />
Advocacy Director<br />
Lesbian, Gay,<br />
Bisexual and<br />
Transgender Rights Program<br />
Boris Dittrich leads Human Rights Watch's advocacy efforts on LGBT<br />
rights around the world. He meets regularly with victims of homophobia<br />
and trans-phobia, and with government officials, members of parliament,<br />
and journalists in Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe to push<br />
for progress on issues of sexual orientation and gender identity.<br />
Among his notable achievements: co-launching the landmark Yogyakarta<br />
Principles at the United Nations; helping to get 67 nations to agree to<br />
combat discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation; being<br />
instrumental in persuading UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to publicly<br />
condemn homophobia for the first time; and convincing the Vatican<br />
to make a formal UN statement in favor of decriminalizing homosexual<br />
conduct and respecting the human rights of homosexual people.<br />
Before coming to Human Rights Watch in 2007, Boris was a member<br />
of the Dutch parliament for more than 12 years. He initiated the<br />
same sex marriage and adoption bills, making the Netherlands the<br />
first country in the world to open its civil marriage for gays and lesbians.<br />
Before being elected to parliament, Boris was a judge at the regional<br />
court of Alkmaar and a lawyer in Amsterdam. He is author of two novels<br />
and two non-fiction works in Dutch, one on LGBT rights. He studied at<br />
Leiden University in the Netherlands.<br />
In May 2013 he received the Jos Brink State Award from the Dutch<br />
government for his work on LGBT rights over the last 30 years.
Hate Crime in Eastern Europe<br />
Reservations about homosexuals and<br />
transsexuals in Eastern Europe are wide-spread.<br />
What influence might existing European police<br />
organizations’ concepts have on police authorities<br />
in Eastern Europe (Poland, the Czech Republic,<br />
Hungary, Slovakia and Ukraine)?<br />
On this, speakers from (western) European police<br />
forces will be invited to talk to rep-resentatives<br />
from Eastern European NGOs.<br />
The objective is the passing of a ‘<strong>Berlin</strong>’ resolution<br />
that will be forwarded to the East-ern European<br />
countries’ Ministries of the Interior.<br />
Speakers: Police representatives from GB, IRL,<br />
NL and ITAL<br />
Speakers: Representatives from NGOs from PL,<br />
RUS, UA<br />
Speaker: MEP Ulricke Lunacek (Member of the<br />
European Parliament / Green Party)
