The El Paso Police Department introduced its new gender-inclusive policies requiring officers to ask all individuals they encounter for their preferred names, pronouns, and gender identity.

“Constitutional Policing” is the title of the new policy, and it comes in the wake of previous efforts by the El Paso government to better relations between authorities and transgender/gender diverse individuals, according to a report.

Specific changes include that an officer with the police department asks every person they encounter, “How would you like to be referred to?”

Furthermore, when possible, officers frisking a suspect will detail to that person the reasons that led to their reasonable suspicions, and quarterly reports will be produced by internal affairs to document complaints of “bias-based policing.”

“Constitutional Policing” is the product of a partnership with the Borderland Rainbow Center, an LGBT community center, and the center’s director said the new policy for police is just the beginning.

“The most important thing is that we can’t change the past, but what we can do is take this first moment and run with it,” Executive Director Amber Perez said.

“Continue the conversation and be able to speak to each other with respect, speak to each other with this idea of, ‘Hey, it’s OK if sometimes we agree to disagree, but, at the end of the day, we’re all here to make our community better.’”
