FBI Sacramento Field Office Launches Campaign Raising Hate Crime Awareness, Encouraging Reporting

Sacramento, CA...The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently launched a nationwide campaign to increase awareness of hate crimes and encourage victims and witnesses of hate-related crimes to report them to law enforcement. To complement this effort, the FBI Sacramento Field Office has placed print ads in several locally owned community publications and placed Spanish language radio public service ads throughout its 34-county area of responsibility in partnership with the California Broadcasters Association. The print ads include a QR code that immediately routes viewers to the FBI Civil Rights Program web page to offer more detail about hate crimes and additional resources, https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/civil-rights/hate-crimes.




“Our local campaign represents an investment in the communities we serve and enhances our continuing outreach and education efforts throughout our territory,” said Special Agent in Charge Sean Ragan of the FBI Sacramento Field Office. “No member of our community, regardless of background or immigration status, should be victimized by bias-motivated threats or violence. When those crimes do occur, they deserve response and action. We encourage victims to come forward and report all incidents to law enforcement. In order to protect our communities, we also encourage witnesses and concerned citizens ant potential hate crimes.”

Victims and witnesses of hate crimes are encouraged to report the crime to the FBI by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or submitting a tip online at tips.fbi.gov. Tips may be submitted anonymously.

A federal hate crime is defined as a criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, national origin, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity. Hate crimes are a high priority for the FBI because of the intended, devastating impact such crimes have on entire communities.

As the lead investigative agency for criminal violations of federal civil rights statutes, the FBI partners with local, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement to ensure a thorough investigation of the facts of alleged crimes, even if federal charges are not ultimately pursued. The FBI is committed to protecting all victims of federal crimes, regardless of immigration status.

The criminal aspect of the offense is an important element. Hate itself, while hurtful and offensive, is not a crime—and the FBI is mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties while ensuring the safety of all communities it serves. “While hateful speech is largely protected, a threat is an example of speech—written or spoken--that may cross the line and be a criminal offense,” clarified Ragan.

The FBI released “Hate Crime Statistics, 2020” in August. The release and report is available via the following link: https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-releases-2020-hate-crime-statistics.

    Apparently, you can make "the list" by passionately and publicly objecting to government policies that are handed on down to burdened school systems to reinforce. Or probably even by writing editorials like this one...

    In case you’ve been asleep the past 10 years, this all started with Obama! Now that Biden’s rating is “42%” perhaps you need to really think about who we vote for!! Only 9 months and 42% so let’s see after one year. Just can’t fix stupid, gotta laugh at it!

      And yet, it's STILL a higher rating than Trump on October 6th of his first year. Huh.

        Neither Trump nor I are on the Forbes 400 list. But I have far less debt than he does, my mental acuity exceeds his by a mile, and I have a Twitter account.

    To be clear... you can speak at the School Board Meeting. You can't threaten them bodily harm because 'you're doing your own research still..."

    Big Difference, Losers.

    And no... the school boards 'don't work for us.' That crap doesn't work when a cop pulls you over either, BTW.

          I think the prior post had it partially right. Some changes in the new draft...

          Hate Crime #1 - The School Boards Hate the Parents( who are anti vaxxers and Maga idiots who dont believe in science)

          Hate Crime #2 - The Water Boards Hate the Residents and food Farmers
          (The maga farmers dont want immigrants but they want their crops harvested. Maybe all the young republicans can start working in the fields?)

          Hate Crime #3 - The Board of Supervisors Hate the Public coming to THEIR Meetings.( yeah if you are a science denying, maga cap wearing, freedom loving(your version of what that means) bs artist, I can understand why)

          Hate Crime #4 - The Elected and Unelected Political Elite Hate the citizens of the USA.( unelected trump hates america I agree)

          Hate Crime #5 - The Elections officials Hate Honest and Fair Elections.
          (This is a joke right??? Please tell me you are kidding. How many times do you need to have it proved that its fair? You probably also believe in virgin birth?)

          Hate Crime #6 - The Biden regime Hates everyone in the US but LOVES C H I N A.
          (Trumpy loved russia so what is your point?)

          Keep working at this I think you have potential to be a speach writer for a crazy GQP candidate some day.
