CONCORD — N.H. Attorney General Gordon J. MacDonald announced the release of new "Protocols for Identifying, Investigating, and Reporting Hate Crimes and Civil Rights Violations" to aid New Hampshire law enforcement and prosecutors in responding to hate crimes and civil rights violations.
“With the formation of the dedicated Civil Rights Unit in the Department of Justice there is a need to provide standardized guidelines and focused training to better prepare members of law enforcement to identify and appropriately respond to incidents where potential bias or hate-motivated crimes have occurred,” said MacDonald. “New Hampshire derives strength and prosperity from valuing the diversity of its population and its commitment to equal justice for all. These protocols strive to ensure that New Hampshire remains a welcoming and safe place for all.”
