Law Enforcement Training

The Connecticut Regional Office has created strong partnerships with local, state and federal law enforcement departments, offering a variety of interactive training opportunities on hate crimes, terrorism and extremism, sharing monthly prepared bulletins and distributing useful ADL produced resource guides. Hate crimes training seminars offer instruction on the special nature of hate crimes, the legal and constitutional framework in which federal and state hate crime statues operate, and how to perform investigative and enforcement duties in a way that reassures the victims and helps alleviate community tensions and fear.

Extremism training includes a powerful visual presentation on the trends in the region and the use of symbols and is designed to provide information about "real world" uses of right-wing hate symbols as tattoos, clothing, jewelry, graffiti, and more.
