The Omaha Police Department, through the Omaha Human Relations Department in partnership with the Community
Coordinating Council Against Hate Crimes, will develop a detailed strategy to address hate crimes. The project
activities are designed to raise public awareness and reporting, and increase procedural information available to
law enforcement investigators and prosecutors to bring criminal action against perpetrators of hates crimes. They
will conduct training to improve prosecution and law enforcement response to hate crimes. The training addresses
the lack of systematic or detailed information available to identify, report, record, prosecute, and follow-up on
hate crimes. They will develop public relations initiatives to increase awareness of hate crimes and provide hate
crimes training seminars to law enforcement and prosecutors, and an abbreviated version to the community. The
Community Coordinating Council will direct and coordinate this effort with the Omaha Human Relations Department.
They will also provide a single point of contact to distribute information, report on neighborhood problems,
conduct meetings, and provide training on hate crimes. The Grantee is the Omaha Police Department, but, the
day-to-day project activities will be accomplished by the Omaha Human Relations Department.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA
LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERSHIPS TO ADDRESS HATE CRIMES
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Currently in Nebraska when a hate crime occurs,
there is--no systematic or detailed procedure that law enforcement officers or
prosecutors can use in identifying, reporting, recording, prosecuting or following-up on
the hate crime. Further, criminal justice practitioners and the general public have a
general lack of knowledge of hate crimes and the gravity of these incidents. Statistical
data is not available due to the lack of understanding and significance of reporting
bias-motivated crimes.
There are numerous reports and varied incidents of hate occurring in the Omaha
community. These incidents have a great impact on all of its citizens. Further,
statistical data is not available due to the fact Nebraska is one of the last states in the
country to report hate crimes to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Historically, this is
due to the lack of legislation addressing hate crimes and the lack of understanding of
prejudice and discrimination and the harm they inflict upon individuals and society. In
1997, the State of Nebraska enacted a penalty-enhancement hate crime statute.
amour non-profit organizations joined together and formed the Hate Crime
Coalition in 1997; The Anti-Defamation League, Urban League, National Conference of
Christians and Jews and the Chicano Awareness Center began coordinating efforts to
address both the acute and systemic problems of bias-motivated crimes in the Omaha
metropolitan area. This group does not include criminal justice practitioners. The Hate
Crime Coalition, to be successful in conducting dialogues and planning meetings with
i r _
Omaha,Nebraska
Topic Area 2-Partnerships to Address Hate Crimes
criminal justice practitioners must broadened it's scope to layout and design a detailed
strategy for addressing and dealing with hate in the community.
—GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:This initiative has three main goals:
1. Develop and implement a variety of diversity and public relations
initiatives to counter the cycle of bias, hatred and distrust that can lead to
hate violence. This will include a media campaign to educate the public
and increase awareness of the impact of hate crimes on both victims and
communities and encourage the public to report hate crimes.
a. Develop public service announcements for radio and TV.
b. Develop brochures for distribution to the public describing hate
crime and the importance of reporting hate crimes to the police.
2. Establishment of definitive policies and procedures by the law
enforcement agencies to respond to hate violence in a priority manner.
The establishment of specifically focused department policies and
procedures is a proactive step that sends a strong message to victims
and would-be perpetrators that hate crimes are not pranks and that the
police will take them seriously.
a. Develop and publish policies and procedures for law enforcement
practitioners in the response, investigation and prosecution of hate
crimes to include:
[1] Establish initial response procedures;
[2] Addressing the special needs of victims;
[3] Interviewing procedures;
2
• g
Omaha,Nebraska
Topic Area 2-Partnerships to Address Hate Crimes
[4] Reporting and tracking hate crimes;
[5] Community relations resources;
[6] Investigative strategies; and,
[7] Prosecution strategies.
3. Develop a comprehensive training curriculum and seminar for law
enforcement personnel and prosecutors as well as an abbreviated version
for the public.
a. Coordinate and develop eight-hours of training for law enforcement
personnel and prosecutors to:
[1] Understand the importance of hate crimes;
[2] Recognize hate groups and perpetrators;
[3] Learn the criteria for determining a hate crime; and,
[4] Impact of hate crime on the community.
Project Strategy or Design: The City of Omaha is comprised of diverse ethnic
backgrounds, racial heritage and religious beliefs. Omaha has a population of
approximately 350,000 people representing 79% of the state's African American
population, 33% of the Asian Pacific Island population, 20% of the American Indian,
Eskimo and Aleut populations and 41% of the Hispanic population.
The City of Omaha's Human Relations Department, Omaha Police Department,
Omaha City Prosecutor's Office, Douglas County Attorney's Office and Court, in joint
partnership with the Hate Crime Coalition will organize the Community Coordinating
Council. The City of Omaha Human Relations Department working with the Community
Coordinating Council and law enforcement coordinators from the Nebraska U.S.

Omaha,Nebraska
Topic Area 2-Partnerships to Address Hate Crimes
Attorney's Office will accept the important role in addressing hate crimes through
community outreach and training. The criminal justice agencies will play a large role in
combating and deterring such crimes to effectively safeguard the state and federal
rights of all individuals. The response to these incidents must be definitive and
immediate to communicate the message to the perpetrators and the community that
these crimes will not be tolerated.
The City of Omaha's Human Relations Department will direct and administer the
grant in consultation with coordinated cooperation from the advisory Coordinating
Council. Omaha's Human Relations Department will oversee grant activities and
ensure the concerns of the citizens of Omaha are addressed.
Presently when a crime or act occurs in the community that is determined to be
hate or bias-motivated, there is not a coordinated response to work with victims(s), the
community, law enforcement and prosecutors to files charges against the offender(s).
A disjointed effort is attempted by individual organizations. The results in the reporting
of hate incidents to chance or word of mouth, which may result in either no reporting of
the incident or the reporting of misinformation. This perpetuates tense police-
community relations; mistrust of the police and/or neighborhood members may perceive
themselves at risk.
Implementation Plan: Omaha's Human Relations Department will implement
the Community Coordinating Council to provide education and public awareness to
inform law enforcement personnel, prosecutors, community members and leaders and
the agencies providing advocacy for victims the importance of reporting these incidents

r
of crime. If these crimes are not reported, the entire community suffers and cannot fully
address and fight hate or bias-motivated crimes as they occur.
�..To_ further this concept, the efforts of the Community Coordinating Council will
result in unified efforts in metropolitan Omaha's fight against hate crimes. Law
enforcement agencies and prosecutors will be encouraged to adopt a systematic
protocol for investigation, reporting and prosecuting crimes that involve hate. Law
enforcement personnel will be trained to specifically identify the type of hate crime.
Selected personnel from Omaha Police Department have received in-depth training in
confronting hate violence and diversity awareness. These individuals in conjunction
with the FBI will serve as trainers. Training manuals and seminars will be the main
source of training. Prosecutors will receive specific training and "best practice"
information for prosecuting offenders. This will provide the prosecutors with a case
managed file emphasizing the long term damage caused to victims and the
neighborhoods by crimes of hate or prejudice to the sentencing court. Prosecutors will
then be able to obtain a sentence that is substantial yet appropriate in light of the
charges and facts of the case.

The primary costs will be for a consultant to coordinate the public relations effort
and provide direction to the council and the producing of public service
announcements.
The cost benefits will be the investment of council members and volunteers time.
Educating the community, training criminal practitioners through this program will be
beneficial later in the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes. This will increase
the citizens' confidence, support, and trust in the City's commitment to fight hate crimes
in the community.
The University of Nebraska at Omaha will develop a process evaluation
instrument to assess the success of project.

Dear Ms. Schultz:
I am pleased to inform you that the concept paper your agency submitted in response to the FY
1998 Open Solicitation received a favorable review by a panel of experts consisting of practitioners
familiar with Topic Area 2: Law Enforcement Partnerships to Address Hate Crimes under which the
paper was submitted. Of the almost 1,300 concept papers submitted, yours was ranked among the very
highest in this topic area. Therefore, the concept paper was selected for further consideration by the staff
of the Bureau of Justice Assistance(BJA).
BJA staff has completed this second level of review and has recommended that your concept
paper proceed to the next step in the process. In order for BJA to make a final determination regarding a
grant award to your agency,the development of a complete application is needed. This application will
expand upon the information provided in the concept paper and will include a description of program
operations along with a detailed budget. The enclosed application kit provides guidance on how to
complete the application and includes information on the administrative and programmatic requirements
for participating in our Discretionary Grant program.
Martin Kamen of my staff has been assigned to assist you throughout the application
development process. While responsibility for developing the application lies with your agency, he will
provide helpful information and technical assistance regarding the process, allowing you to focus on the
program planning and development portion of the application.
Thank you for your submission and the obvious hard work that went into developing it. You
have identified a pressing need and described an innovative approach to address that need. We look
forward to working with you to see that the program is implemented such that other agencies facing
similar situations will benefit from your experience. If you have any questions, please feel free to call
Mr. Kamen at(202) 305-1745.
