Hate crimes are very serious and traumatic incidents.
It is important for citizens to remember that when these crimes are occurring, they should be reported to the police immediately by telephoning 911. When a citizen finds that he or she has been a victim of a hate crime, and it is not an immediate life-threatening emergency, he or she should phone their local community police station and report the crime. Once the hate crime is reported, a sheriff's deputy will be able to provide information on private or governmental agencies that can provide support for victims. You can request a restraining order against a person who hurt or threatened you, or other family members, by appearing at the Superior Court in Hahnville. A restraining order may be requested whether or not an arrest has been made or deputies have been called.
