What constitutes a hate crime? What happens in a federal investigation? What is local law enforcement’s role? How does the Jewish Federation collaborate with law enforcement? What can you do to be an informed and safe citizen?

These questions and more will be addressed by speakers representing various law enforcement agencies in this community safety forum. Our goal is to help community members recognize their rights, responsibilities, and best practices, while giving everyone a more informed perspective on hate crimes and hate speech prosecution.

This program is facilitated by the 10.27 Healing Partnership and led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Local and Federal Law Enforcement, Jewish Federation Community Safety, University of Pittsburgh Professor of Law
