LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Police Department says that, by the end of the month, it expects to be the first department in the country to have a separate section for transgender inmates.
The policy change was announced Thursday night by Capt. Dave Lindsay, commander of the LAPD’s jail division, at a meeting of transgender people in Hollywood.
Police say there will be a special women’s module reserved at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown L.A.
Transgender people will be able to receive male and female clothing, along with medical treatment, including hormones, Lindsay said.
