The D.C. Police Department's Gay and Lesbian Liaison Unit is the first in the nation to redefine community policing by coupling community outreach with traditional crime fighting in the often invisible gay and lesbian communities. Moving beyond geographic, racial, and other artificial boundaries, the unit is educating law enforcement and protecting a traditionally marginalized group. The program is a 2006 Innovations in American Government Award winner.
