Polis Aperta is an association founded in February 2005 by the will of a group of people who play mainly their own service in the police and armed forces, which share more than the work, the emotional homosexual orientation.


Polis Aperta is part of a European network of LGBT (an acronym for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) police organizations, the European Gay Police Network, which meets every two years all the associations of the old continent to compare the experiences of each nation in the fight against sex discrimination.


Our main aim is to fight against all discrimination, especially against those based on sexual orientation and gender identity.


Then we are determined to face, within the army and police world, the sexual question in order to create a more peaceful and respectful surrounding for lesbian and gay people who serve the country in uniform.


We would also like to convey to the gay and lesbian population, and not only, a different image of the police function, that is a police open in an open society.


In order to the nature of its intents, the Association includes as members also heterosexual people and friends belonging to civil society.
