NY police agencies report hate crime data at high rate
Federal records show New York law enforcement agencies are among the most reliable in reporting hate crimes. An AP review of FBI records from 2009 to 2014 finds 22 of 512 New York agencies did not report, a 4.3 percent failure rate versus 17 percent nationally. Most nonreporting agencies are small village departments. Nassau County sheriff’s office is an exception, as it handles jail duties only.
