COPS Director
Office for Civil Rights Notice for All Recipients
The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) enforces federal
civil rights laws and other provisions that prohibit discrimination by recipients of federal financial assistance from OJP,
the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW).
Several civil rights laws, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of
1973, require recipients of federal financial assistance (recipients) to give assurances that they will comply with those
laws. Taken together, these and other civil rights laws prohibit recipients from discriminating in the provision of
services and employment because of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, and sex or from discriminating in
the provision of services on the bases of age.
Some recipients of DOJ financial assistance have additional obligations to comply with other applicable
nondiscrimination provisions like the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, which prohibits
discrimination on the basis of religion in addition to race, color, national origin, and sex. Recipients may also have
related requirements regarding the development and implementation of equal employment opportunity programs.
Page: 2 of 17
OCR provides technical assistance, training, and other resources to help recipients comply with civil rights obligations.
Further, OCR administratively enforces civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions by investigating DOJ
recipients that are the subject of discrimination complaints. In addition, OCR conducts compliance reviews of DOJ
recipients based on regulatory criteria. These investigations and compliance reviews permit OCR to evaluate whether
DOJ recipients are providing services to the public and engaging in employment practices in a nondiscriminatory
manner .
For more information about OCR, your civil rights and nondiscrimination responsibilities, how to notify your employees
or beneficiaries of their civil rights protections and responsibilities and how to file a complaint, as well as technical
assistance, training, and other resources, please visit www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/outreach. If you would
like OCR to assist you in fulfilling your civil rights or nondiscrimination responsibilities, please contact us at askOCR@o
jp.usdoj.gov or www.ojp.gov/program/civil-rights-office/about#ocr-contacts .
