The Prince William County Police Department is committed to serving our diverse and inclusive community while working to ensure Prince William County is a place where all people can live safely and without fear. There is significant community harm caused by hate and bias-related crimes, but a perpetrator cannot be held accountable for their actions if the crime is not reported to law enforcement. That’s why the Department is committed to building vital police-community partnerships so that all people feel empowered to report information to police for a thorough investigation.

Hate and bias-related crimes are not separate, distinct offenses, but rather reported crimes with an added element of bias by the offender. Because of the difficulty of ascertaining the offender’s subjective motivation, bias is only reported if the investigation reveals sufficient information to lead a reasonable and prudent person to conclude that the offender’s actions were motivated, in whole, or in part, by bias against race, religion, disability, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
