What can you do?

Discipline the two officers for their discriminatory and disrespectful behavior;
Have the responding officers formally apologize to the victims for their behavior;
Tell the community what his agency is doing to solve the crime.
3. Spread the word about hate crimes to your friends, co-workers, family and others you care about and report hate crimes to KCAVP. The more information we have, the more we can document what is going on and prevent more crimes from happening. Visit www.kcavp.org/biasCrimes.htm for more information about hate (bias) crimes.
