NYPD top cop Keechant Sewell joined the Gay Officers Action League and several elected officials marked National Coming Out Day Tuesday, Oct. 11, by unveiling a new department app that will give officers greater access to LGBTQIA+ resources.
Sewell revealed that the app would be installed on every officer’s smartphone by the end of Tuesday in honor of the occasion. Dubbed, the LGBTQIA+ resource map application, the app will give field officers searchable access to community centers, advocacy organizations and other resources.
“It will become an invaluable tool for providing Crime Victim Assistance and facilitating community outreach and neighborhood policing,” Sewell stated.
