Las Vegas, NV (Nevada AG) - On Thursday, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced that his office has launched a statewide hotline for reporting hate crimes.
In April 2024, AG Ford announced Nevada would receive $1,164,424 in funding from the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act State-Run Hate Crime Reporting Hotlines program to fund the hotline.
The hotline, 775-687-4283 or 775-687-HATE, is designed to report hate crimes and refer victims to services that may be able to provide assistance in the aftermath of such crimes. While hotline staff may refer victims to law enforcement agencies, the information the hotline receives will not be reported to law enforcement.
The grant money for the hotline was awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). The OVC administers discretionary grants that are used to fund national-scope demonstration projects and training and technical assistance delivery to enhance the professional expertise of victim service providers. Such grants can be awarded to states, local units of government, tribal communities, individuals, educational institutions and private nonprofit organizations.
