Item 2: APD Hate Crime Review Committee — original pdf
APD Hate Crime Review Committee Austin Police | October 21,2025 Agenda ❖ What is a hate crime? • • Definition and legal considerations Hate crime vs hate incident ❖ How to report a hate crime? APD reporting methods • ❖ What happens after the hate crime is reported? • Overview of APD Hate Crime Review Committee ❖ Officer hate crime related training ❖ Hate crime support services APD Victim Services Unit • Definition and Legal Considerations ❖ Hate Crime: a criminal act committed against a person, or a person's property, that is motivated by bias against a person’s, or group’s, race, ethnicity, religion, color, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin or ancestry, or status as a peace officer or judge. ❖ Hate Crime is not a specific offense, but rather a penalty enhancement. ▪ Essentially a traditional crime with the added element of bias motivation. ❖ The penalty enhancement is decided by the trier of fact (judge or jury) at the guilt/innocence phase of the trial. ▪ APD doesn’t control whether or not an enhancement is applied. ▪ Recent example - last month the Travis County DA’s Office announced a hate crime finding related to a 2023 Terroristic Threat charge. ❖ Hate Crime versus a Hate Incident. ▪ Hate Incident: an act that is motivated by bias that does not rise to the level of a criminal offense. ▪ Law enforcement can’t infringe on 1st Amendment Right to freedom of speech. ▪ Example – handing out fliers with offensive language towards a particular group. 3 Hate Crime Reporting ❖ When to call 911: ▪ There’s an immediate danger to life or property. ▪ A crime is actively occurring. ▪ The suspect is still on scene. ❖ Secondary reporting methods: ▪ Austin 311 (512-974-2000) ▪ Online Reporting (iReport Austin) ❖ Detailed articulation is important! ▪ If the incident involves bias or prejudice, it’s important to provide all available details that may support a hate crime enhancement. 4 APD Hate Crime Review Committee ❖ Potential hate crimes are routed to both the investigative unit and the review committee for simultaneous review. ❖ The Committee consists of both civilian and sworn personnel. Non-Sworn Sworn Victim Services Manager 2 Civilians Lieutenant 2 Detectives ❖ Committee members meet monthly to review cases. • Did a criminal offense occur? • Was the motivation based on bias or prejudice? ❖ An affirmative finding results in …

Recommendation No.20251021-002 Recommendation on amending City Code to use both City and personal email addresses for board and commission — original pdf
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION Resource Management Commission Recommendation No. 20251021-002 Recommendation on amending City Code to use both City and personal email addresses for volunteer board and commission members Whereas members of the Resource Management Commission and other City Boards and Commissions are volunteers, and, Whereas the City of Austin policy, based on city code, is that staff liaisons for City boards and commissions must use only commissioners’ official city email addresses, and, Whereas volunteer commission and board members rely extensively on personal email addresses and have missed communications from City liaisons, other city staff, and fellow commissioners, and, Whereas expanding communication options with staff and fellow commissioners can make board and commission service more accessible and make commissioners more productive on behalf of the City of Austin, and, Whereas many volunteer commissioners find managing multiple email accounts can be a significant burden on top of their family, employment, community and other activities, and, Whereas commissioners understand that all communications about board or commission business are subject to disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act, regardless of what communication channel including city or personal email the commissioner uses, then, Whereas the Electric Utility Commission has recommended in Recommendation 20250609-003 that the Austin City Council amend the city code to allow volunteers serving on city commissions and boards to use a combination of personal and city email accounts. A commissioner’s official city email (BC) address should still be included on all official communications, but commissioners’ personal email addresses should be cc’d on those and other communications. Be it resolved, The Resource Management Commission joins the Electric Utility Commission in asking the City Council to change the city code to allow for communications to and from City of Austin volunteer board and commission members to go to both official city email addresses and personal email addresses if the commissioner explicitly opts in to add use of their personal email address.
