Hate crimes are the highest priority of the FBI’s civil rights program due to the devastating impact they have on families and communities. Each year, the FBI provides hate crimes training for new agents, hundreds of current agents, and thousands of police officers worldwide.
Outreach is a vital component of the FBI’s civil rights program. The FBI conducts hundreds of seminars, workshops, and training sessions annually for law enforcement, minority and religious organizations, and community groups to promote cooperation and reduce civil rights abuses.
The FBI opens hundreds of civil rights cases each year. You are not alone, and we are here to help. If you are the victim of a hate crime, file a report at tips.fbi.gov, or call your local FBI office. ow.ly/AJT630qr6dH
