"Gay and lesbian police officers will be asked to 'out' themselves in a move towards increasing the numbers of gay officers. A new report, backed by Met Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair, suggests officers should anonymously declare their sexual orientation in order to assess if the Metropolitan Police is representative of the wider population. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Authority, who will hear the report tomorrow (Thurs), said the idea was expected to 'get the nod'.
The report, entitled 'Monitoring for Equality' states: 'Data on sexual orientation is not currently held on MetHR (Met Human Resources) and therefore no meaningful analysis can be undertaken."
