Description

The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division (CRT) proposes to establish a new system of records titled "Civil Rights Division Reporting Portal," JUSTICE/CRT-012. This system modernizes how the Division receives reports of alleged civil rights violations from the public through a web application and database. It allows the public to submit reports via a responsive web form and also enables CRT to add reports received through non-web channels such as mail, telephone, email, or fax. The system facilitates efficient review and processing of reports, provides status updates to the public, tracks portal metrics, and analyzes progress on concerns raised by the reports. Comments on the system are invited until May 29, 2026.
