PORTLAND — Portland police are inviting members of the city’s gay and lesbian community to a forum later this month to discuss safety concerns.

The Police Department is holding the forum for the city’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population to discuss safety concerns and ways the department can improve its relationship with that community.

“Easy access and open communication are basic tenets for how the police department operates in Portland,” stated Portland Police Chief James Craig. “This forum provides members of the city’s gay community an opportunity to voice their concerns and be heard.”

The forum is scheduled for 6 p.m. Jan. 27 at the University of Southern Maine’s Abromson Community Education Center, 88 Bedford St.
