ALBANY - Offenses committed against first responders would be classified as hate crimes if a bill proposed Monday is passed.

 

The Community Heroes Protection would expand penal law to include all offenses committed against law enforcement officers, firefighters and emergency services personnel as hate crimes if the acts appear to be motivated by the victim’s profession.
