Hate Crime Resources                    
		                                Trust is foundational to public safety. When a community is impacted by distrust of law enforcement, or violence and/or hate from others in the community, it is vital to foster healing and inclusion, and empower citizens to work in collaboration with law enforcement. COPS Office resources highlight effective approaches that law enforcement can use to lead the healing of distressed communities.
