GENERAL
This report is separate from and in addition to the traditional Summary Reporting System submission. In hate
crime reporting, there is no Hierarchy Rule. Offense data (not just arrest data) for Intimidation and
Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property should be reported. On this form, all reportable bias motivated
offenses should be included regardless of whether arrests have taken place. Please refer to the publication
Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and Training Manual for additional information.
QUARTERLY HATE CRIME REPORT
At the end of each calendar quarter, each reporting agency should submit a single Quarterly Hate Crime
Report, together with an individual Hate Crime Incident Report for each bias motivated incident identified
during the quarter (if any). If no hate crimes occurred during the quarter, the agency should submit only the
Quarterly Hate Crime Report.
The Quarterly Hate Crime Report should be used to identify your agency, to state the number of bias
motivated incidents being reported for the calendar quarter, and to delete any incidents previously reported
that have been determined during the reporting period not to have been motivated by bias.
HATE CRIME INCIDENT REPORT
The Incident Report should be used to report a bias motivated incident or to adjust information in a previously
reported incident. Include additional information on separate paper if you feel it will add clarity to the report.
