About the Task Force
The Hate Crimes Task Force was created in 2018 to address the increase in bias-motivated threats, harassment and violence throughout New York State.
Run by the State Police with the assistance of the State Division of Human Rights, and the Division of Criminal Justice Services, the Task Force works together to prevent, investigate, and monitor Hate Crimes and violations of Human Rights Law.
The Task Force works collaboratively with local law enforcement and prosecutors. Referrals are received from these entities, as well as from the hotline, the textline and various other channels.
