HomeMy WebLinkAbout7/28/2010 - STAFF REPORTS - 5.A. (2) City Restricts Use of Undercover Operations
The Palm Springs City Council has unanimously endorsed the police
department's new proactive enforcement policy to control lewd conduct.
This policy restricts the use of decoy undercover operations.
"Palm Springs has always embraced diversity and tolerance and wants the LGBT
community and all visitors to continue to feel safe and welcome in our City at all
times," the Council stated.
"In addition to the new enforcement policy, our police department has instituted
comprehensive LGBT sensitivity training. The police department continues to meet
with residents and hoteliers to receive neighborhood input and to refine the
implementation of the new policy," the Council added.
These steps serve as a reminder to citizens and all visitors that Palm Springs is a
safe and welcoming city and unique vacation destination for everyone.
