About CRIO
The Civil Rights, Inclusion & Opportunity department, formerly known as the City’s Human Rights department, is the oldest civil rights department in the country, with roots dating as early as 1926 and 1947.
However, in 1974, a new city charter implemented a department to serve as the City's civil rights agency, including investigating complaints of discrimination. Today, CRIO’s purpose is ever expanding to investigate and irradicate discrimination, secure equal protection of civil rights, promote inclusion, and create opportunities and access for all citizens.
