Hate crimes and bias incidents are occurring throughout the United States, in big cities and small towns, highly publicized or going unreported. They can represent the ultimate in violence, or they can spread their message of fear and intimidation through words and rhetoric.

Hate crimes are different than any other crimes you will encounter as a law enforcement officer. They can happen anywhere, and anyone can be a target. No one is safe, and there is no protection.

And they don’t just affect the victim – they can affect an entire community. This webinar will walk you through the three Rs: Recognize, Respond, and Report, so you can deal with hate crimes properly and promptly.
