In the wake of three gay cases of violence (two of which involve the Provincetown Police) a travel warning has been issued.
The Anti-Violence Project has mounting concerns about the safety of LGBT visitors to Provincetown.
According to Chairperson Don Gorton, “We lack confidence that the Provincetown Police Department, under its current interim leadership, is willing or able to adequately protect LGBT visitors. The Department is incapably led, seriously understaffed, under trained, and under supervised”. Gorton announced that the Anti-Violence Project would continue and step up its advocacy efforts until confidence is restored in the Provincetown Police Department: “The Provincetown Police Department desperately needs to be reformed.”
Please join Don Gorton and I in personally contacting the Provincetown authorities and voicing your concerns:

Google alerted me to your article. Nicely done. Thanks for helping us psread the message about what is going on in Provincetown. We don't need anyone else getting hurt because of the lack of protection the police are providing.
Feel free to stay in touch if you would like to to update you on what scoops we get. Tom Lang, director of KnowThyNeighbor.org seems to have his hand on the pulse of this issue.
Now there are a few new police men in proviincetown. one is GAY and he is changing ptwon...
That's great news.
Thanks for letting us know.
