	There were intended to be [[LGBT Police Liaison Officer]]s in every borough, although by October 2012 some of the posts were still vacant.<ref>http://www.met.police.uk/contacts/lgbt.htm</ref>		Following the Soho bombing at the Admiral Duncan pub in April 1999 the Metropolitan Police established a Lesbian and Gay Advisory Group consisting of lay members who would be a critical friend to the police. This group is now called the LGBT Independent Advisory Group.
	The Metropolitan Police 'Inclusion and Diversity Strategy 2017 –2021' ~~states~~ that as an organisation they need to : 'Remain focused on employing, retaining and developing a representative workforce that is working in an inclusive and supportive environment' <ref> https://www.met.police.uk/SysSiteAssets/foi-media/metropolitan-police/policies/inclusion-strategy-2017-2021.pdf.</ref>.
			In 1999 the MPS also established a force-wide network of lesbian and gay liaison officers. Volunteer officers in each borough policing command unit advised colleagues dealing with incidents and relevant police operations.

			After an MPS workforce reorganisation in 2018, police LGBTQ+ liaison officers were absorbed into broader community engagement teams. This reduced their focus on LGBT+ communities and their issues. Volunteers from the LGBTQ+ Police Staff Support Association tried to fill the gap through the LGBTQ+ advisor scheme. But, while well intentioned, they couldn’t meet the operational and community demands for support and information. This gap in service and communication was identified as one of the failings of the initial investigation into the murders by Stephen Port <ref> https://www.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmicfrs/publication-html/inspection-of-the-metropolitan-police-services-response-to-lessons-from-the-stephen-port-murders/#7-inclusion-diversity-and-equalities-considerations-when-investigating-death </ref>.
