LGBTQ+ Police Liaison
In an effort to increase community outreach and trust between the LGBTQ+ community and the Brookline Police Department, Officer Kristin Healy self-initiated the LGBTQ+ Liaison role in June of 2021, which the command staff for the Police Department fully supported. Officer Healy is a member of the Walk and Talk Unit and is willing to speak with anyone in need of police services or just needs someone who will listen. Officer Healy's contact information is below as well as a guide for local resources.
