Entertainment Swindon

Volunteers from Wiltshire Police have represented the organisation at this year’s Swindon and Wiltshire Pride.

The free event was attended by thousands of people from across the region at the new, bigger location in GWR Park in the town centre.

Wiltshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Debs Smith is the Chief Officer sponsor of the Force’s LGBTQ+ Staff Support Network.

She said: “Pride is all about inclusion and representation – two of our core values at Wiltshire Police.

“The Wiltshire Police contingent who have been engaging with our communities at the event today are all volunteers from our LGBTQ+ Staff Support Network who give up their time to represent the Force.

“At every Pride event in Wiltshire this year, a member of our Chief Officer Group (COG) has attended to show their support and solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.

“The engagement we get from our local communities at these events is always fantastic and we remain committed to anything which promotes equality and inclusion.

“We must continue to represent all of our communities across Swindon and Wiltshire.”
