The Suffolk County Police Department will boost officer training on the investigation of hate crimes and improve outreach to local Latino communities under a tentative agreement reached with the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District.
The police department “will continue to deliver police services that are equitable, respectful, and free of unlawful bias, in a manner that promotes broad community engagement and confidence in the Department,” said the agreement, which was announced Tuesday.
