trans | UK - what should the police know about the Trans community?

This is quite UK specific, but I'm not getting much feedback from

tguk so I thought I'd try here too.

The UK LGBT campaign School's Out! (organisers of February's LGBT History Month) are working with London's LGBT hate crime charity Galop (www.galop.org.uk) and the Metropolitan Police on a project for the Home Office to discover what LGBT people in England and Wales think the police need to know about our communities.

The organisers are holding focus group around the country so LGBT people can have their say and influence the way the LGB and T communities are policed.

I am attending a focus group tomorrow, and I want to have as many views as possible to represent. So here's your chance to make your voices heard - what do you think the police need to know about the trans community, dealing with trans people, employing trans people etc etc ...
