As part of the work of the Human and Civil Rights Committee for IACP, Chief Ronald Sellon contributed to the work of the committee who have spent the last few months finalizing an important resource for law enforcement. Titled Action Agenda for Community Organizations and Law Enforcement to Enhance the Response
to Hate Crimes, this paper provides background and essential resources for police departments in increasing their responses when dealing with hate crimes.
From the introduction: “In response to hate crimes and hate incidents, the Lawyers’ Committee and the IACP partnered to launch the Enhancing the Response to Hate
Crimes Advisory Committee. This expert committee convened leaders in law enforcement, civil rights, and academia for a series of comprehensive discussions examining promising practices for response to hate crimes, as well as how these practices shape community-police relations.
The advisory committee led a collaborative effort to help stakeholders develop specific strategies to enhance their response to hate crimes and hate incidents. As the discussions progressed, the committee members identified five critical issues that are imperative to enhancing hate crimes response practices, as well as an action agenda for community organizations and law enforcement to address each critical issue.”
