COSA, JUSTINE JOY C. FELICIANO, ALFREDO E. and REAL, XANDRA BLANCHE B., Public Perception to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Police Officers. This study was conducted from October 2017 to May 2018 to determine the public perception to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender police officers.

This is a useful method of gathering information about rare phenomena that could not be reproduced in a laboratory or about subjects that are not well understood. Moreover, descriptive research method does not test specific relationships between factors. However, they provide information about behaviors and attributes with the goal of reaching a better understanding of a given topic (Boundless, 2016).

Thus, it is recommended that the LGBT Police Officers must undergo different training and seminars where their physical capability, health condition, sexual orientation and etiquette will be developed. For the Philippine National Police, they should recognized the capability of the lgbt police officers to make them feel belong in the agency. The community must continue showing their support to the lgbt community so that discrimination will be lessen.
