-- From "Justice Department launches training program to improve response to transgender community" by Eric Tucker, Associated Press 3/27/14
The training effort is being overseen by the department's Community Relations Service, which was established under the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and works with communities to prevent and respond to hate crimes.
The initiative comes as police departments face scrutiny over their responsiveness to crimes against transgender people.
The Community Relations Service [CRS] has regional offices around the country that will offer the training to police departments. The training includes suggestions for confronting bullying in schools as well as lists of do's — such as asking a person for his or her preferred gender pronoun — and don'ts, such as using the term "transvestite" or asking whether the person has had sex-change surgery.

From "DOJ Rolls Out Transgender Sensitivity Training for Police" by Susan Jones, CNSNews.com 3/28/14
"CRS’s work on transgender issues serves to extend the positive and essential efforts the Department has been making during Attorney General Holder’s tenure," [Deputy Assistant Attorney General James] Cole said. "From concluding that the Defense of Marriage Act was indefensible in court, to the extension of benefits to same-sex marriages to robust enforcement of the Matthew Shepard & James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, the Department’s commitment to ensuring equality for the LGBT community has been clear."
Over the past several years, the Department of Justice has observed the Transgender Day of Remembrance in November, which Cole described as a day to honor the memory of victims of anti-transgender violence and discrimination.

What we are about to see is a cultural training program designed to educate law enforcement about the transgender communities they serve. It also is designed to foster mutual understanding between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and enhance law enforcement outreach capabilities to the transgender communities by addressing sensitivities, stereotypes, and expectations.

NCTE Policy Director Harper Jean Tobin helped design and model the program launched Thursday by DOJ’s controversial Community Relations Service (CRS).
