“The Montgomery County Committee Against Hate Violence (CAHV) of the County Office of Human Rights, at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, Dec. 6, will sponsor a ‘Federal Hate Crimes’ Training Seminar.  The program will focus on how a member of the public can file a Federal civil rights Hate/Bias/Violence case and receive educational information aimed at preventing, handling and mediating incidents of Hate/Bias/Violence. The program will be held at the Rockville Memorial Library.

The Rockville Memorial Library is located at 21 Maryland Ave. in Downtown Rockville. The training will be held on the 2nd Floor in the Human Rights Commission Conference Room. The program is free of charge and open to the public.

Scheduled to provide this training are Denise W. Nazaire and Thomas M. Coyle.

Mr. Coyle is the supervisor of the Public Corruption and Civil Rights Unit-Squad C-10 for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) office in Baltimore.

Utilizing facilitated dialogues, mediation, training, consultation and various conflict resolution skills, Ms. Nazaire has worked with CRS to improve communities’ abilities to problem solve and build capacity to prevent and respond to conflict, tension and hate crimes. She previously was a management analyst within the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and served as a deputy project director within the DOJ, administering criminal juvenile justice research, violence prevention, police community relations, project management and training and technical assistance.

Mr. Coyle has 26 years of experience in Federal and local law enforcement. During his 13 years with the FBI Public Corruption and Civil Rights Unit-Squad C-10, the operation had several successful prosecutions of civil rights violations of Federal “Hate Crimes” laws.
