New grant will help bring a Hate Crime reporting Hotline to Nevada


RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – A grant from the Department of Justice is set to fund a hate crime hotline in Nevada. The state’s attorney general office hopes this state-run hotline will support hate crime victims in our community.

According to data from the DOJ’s national incident-based reporting system crimes motivated by race/ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation make up the majority of the hate incidents reported in Nevada. However, the most recent numbers from 2022 show a significant drop in “reported” hate crimes from 2021.

The hotline will be 24 hours and there are three positions available, victim’s advocate and two administrative assistants who can take calls. Not all hate crimes are reported and the hope is the hotline will change that “The grant is to lend support to those who may be reluctant to report the crimes but we will also communicate with the relevant authorities to see what we can do to address some of these concerns” says Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford.

The hotline is not up yet as the attorney general office is looking to fill the three positions and is accepting applications as well as any community organizations that would like to help.
