The Local Police of Dénia, a pioneer in training to deal with cases of hate crimes against the LGTBI collective

06 October 2021 - 16: 48

During the last quarter of the year, the hundred of agents that make up the staff of the Local Police of Dénia will receive specific training, of 20 teaching hours, on the care of victims and the management of cases of hate crimes against the LGTBI collective . This training and awareness course is the first action that is implemented from those collected in the I Dénia Sexual Diversity Plan, a pioneer at the provincial level.

The objective is to provide agents with tools and material that, on the one hand, allow them to contribute to the prevention and eradication of diversifobia; and, on the other, that they broaden their knowledge about the gestation of sexual identity to achieve understanding and identification. Therefore, work will be done from a multidisciplinary perspective that will also include the most experiential and experiential point of view, in addition to the contributions of medicine, psychology, justice and sociology.

The Councilor for Equality and Diversity and Citizen Security, Javier Scotto, stressed, during the presentation of the initiative, that it also seeks to improve the experience with the participation of citizens, who from today until January 14 can send testimony, suggestions and opinions to the email sexologiasensefronteresdenia@gmail.com

With this training action, the path to the creation of a Local Police unit specialized in hate crimes begins.

Vicente Bataller, sexologist and doctor of Medicine, president in addition to the Sexology Without Borders Association of the Valencian Country, will be one of the professionals who will work with municipal agents. Bataller has highlighted the "pioneering" character of this course for two reasons: first, that the entire body template will be formed; and a second innovation is the introduction of the perspective of sexology, "to also teach the psyche and how sexual identity is formed, concepts that will help to put an end to many prejudices and neuras".

In this sense, the commissioner of the Local Police, Pepe Martínez Espasa, added that the purpose is that the police, in addition to preventing and combating hate crimes as agents of order, "also become agents that transform society."

In the different sessions of the course will take part, in addition to Vicente Bataller, M. Isabel López, social worker, sociologist and sexologist; Cristina López, psychologist and sexologist specializing in gender; Araceli Caballero, specialist in gender violence; Alejandro Campos, magistrate and local police on leave of absence from Bétera; and the local police of the Vall d'Uixó María Sanz and Diego Morente, coordinator of the LGTBIpol Unit of this Castellón population.

    Go, giving work and salary to another association more sucking of the boat. Sexology Association without Borders of the Valencian Country? But what is this? And the poor policemen now have to prevent hate crimes? How can they prevent them with a crystal ball? And transform themselves into transforming agents of society? Like giving talks in the streets? It is educated in the families and in the classrooms that is where the work is done. The Police are there for other purposes. And an assault from one person to another is treated for what it is, an assault. Is it less aggression if the cry of "shit heterosexual" is infringed? It is very simple we are all people, our sexuality is private and no one has to care what it is, unless it is a morbid gossip {there are too many} and an assault is an assault regardless of the sexual condition of the victim or the offender.
