An act of hate and discrimination does not need to target an individual.
An example may include discriminatory messages or symbols painted on buildings or memorials.
Information about the types of incidents, groups being targeted, and where the incidents are taking place will be shared with community partners.
Specific identifying information about individuals or incidents is not shared with the police or anyone else without your express permission unless there is an active safety risk to yourself or others even if you choose to identify yourself to Victim Services Huron Perth to receive targeted supports.
This form is not considered a police report. If you wish to file a police report, please contact your local police agency or attend police headquarters. Please note that as this form is not a police report, it cannot directly lead to formal charges.
