What a week for Out On Patrol! From making history at Vancouver Pride to representing our organization internationally in Amsterdam, it has been an incredible few days.

At the @lgbtpoliceeu Conference 2026, Out On Patrol members took the stage to share our work with colleagues from around the world.

Our other board members also had the honour of helping close the conference with some exciting news: registration is officially open for the 5th World 2SLGBTQ+ Conference for Criminal Justice Professionals @prideacrossbdrs, coming to Vancouver July 27 to 30, 2027. The conference is co-hosted by Out On Patrol and @BCPoliceChiefs, with the Vancouver Police Department serving as host agency.

We capped off an amazing week by joining law enforcement agencies from around the world aboard the Dutch National Police boat for the Amsterdam Canal Parade, this year part of WorldPride. Cruising the canals alongside hundreds of thousands of people celebrating Pride was an experience our members will never forget.

A special thank you to the @POL_Amsterdam Chief Commissioner Holla for joining us on the boat and inviting us to take part.

Thank you to the EGPA organizing committee for an outstanding conference and to @Politie and @rozeinblauw for being such amazing hosts.

From Vancouver Pride to WorldPride Amsterdam, what an unforgettable week!
