Copeland police have joined Hate Crime Awareness Week, which runs until October 17. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the impact of hate crime and promote community support for victims.
Inspector Mike Hird of Copeland Neighbourhood Policing Team said: 'As we mark Hate Crime Awareness Week, I want to highlight the importance of coming together to support those who have been affected by hate crime and to raise awareness of the impact these offences can have on people's lives.' He added: 'It's not a crime to be yourself. We will take robust action against anyone who targets another person because of their race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, transgender identity or any other protected characteristic.'
Officers from the Copeland Neighbourhood Policing Team and the Nuclear Estates Team will participate in events and engagement activities throughout the week. Anyone who has experienced or witnessed a hate crime is encouraged to report it online, call 101, or contact emergency services on 999.
