Please sign the statement of support: Calling all police and law enforcement officers!

12 February 2013

Show your support for policing practices which protect the whole community from HIV by signing the Statement of Support for harm reduction. The statement represents a powerful tool in the effort to acknowledge the important and under-recognised role of police in preventing HIV.

The Statement of Support was written BY police FOR police at the inaugural International Police Advisory Group meeting held in Melbourne in November 2012. The meeting was chaired by Superintendent Frank Hansen (retired) of Australia's New South Wales Police Service.

LEAHN would like as many signatures as possible to prepare for the statement launch at the United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Vienna in April 2013.

To sign up to the statement, please send an email to leahn@leahn.org indicating your support.
