The Civil Rights Division of the U.S.
Department of Justice enforces the nation's federal civil rights
statutes. Members of the public play a critical role in this effort
by reporting civil rights violations to the Division. To facilitate
this reporting process, the Division is developing a streamlined
online Reporting Portal for Civil Rights Violations. This Portal is
designed to facilitate and enhance individual complainant's
reporting opportunities, save members of the public time in
reporting violations, and improve how the Division responds to
those reports. The information the Division plans to collect using
the reporting portal will help the Division fulfill its enforcement
responsibilities.
