Building on ADL's expertise in monitoring and exposing the activities of organized hate groups and in crafting legal and legislative responses to hate crime, ADL has developed a hate crimes training program for law enforcement professionals.
ADL training seminars offer instruction on the special nature of hate crime, the legal and constitutional framework in which federal and state hate crime statues operate, and how to perform investigative and enforcement duties in a way that reassures the victims and helps alleviate community tensions and fear.
Depending on the degree of knowledge and prior experience of the law enforcement agency, these programs can last anywhere from two hours to a full day or day and a half - and can be certified by the appropriate state law enforcement standards and training agency (POST).
Program elements include:
| • |
