Salt Lake Supports You

“Salt Lake City is the incredible place it is thanks to the people who call it home — people from diverse cultural, religious, and ethnic backgrounds. I’m grateful to these communities for their work to make our capital city the welcoming place it is. Salt Lake City unequivocally rejects hate, intolerance, and intimidation in any form.”

Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall

“The Salt Lake City Police Department stands united in our fight against hate crimes. We are committed to inclusion and unity. We vow to thoroughly investigate hate crimes, to support survivors and to build a future where hate is rejected and where all individuals can live without fear of discrimination or violence.”

Salt Lake City Police Chief Mike Brown

“Hate crimes are different from other crimes. Hate crimes are a violent virus that have three victims: the person targeted in the attack, the community or group to which the person belongs, and those who live where the crime occurred. There is no place for hate in Salt Lake County.”

Salt Lake County Attorney Sim Gill

To report a hate crime or incident, contact the police. Law enforcement cannot investigate hate crimes unless we report them. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a hate crime, your local law enforcement is ready to respond and to support victims.

When reporting to the police, be prepared answers questions such as: who, what, when, and where, so that the police can better respond to the incident. An officer will respond to create an incident report and investigate the incident. If they suspect it is a hate crime, the officer will notify their supervisor.
