Existing law requires every person or agency dealing with crimes or criminals to maintain the records necessary to report statistical data, and to report statistical data to the Department of Justice and the Attorney General. Existing law requires the Attorney General, subject to the availability of adequate funding, to direct local law enforcement agencies to report information related to hate crimes, as defined, to the Department of Justice.
