Protecting Civil Rights and Civil Liberties

The Governor's Office of Homeland Security is committed to protecting the civil rights and civil liberties of all Californians.  We work with our local, State, federal and tribal partners to promote public education and awareness about the importance of security, civil rights, and tolerance in our society.  Because protecting civil rights and civil liberties is fundamentally important, we created the State Terrorism Threat Assessment Advisory Group (STTAAG) to give us advice on these very matters.  For more information and training resources, please visit our Civil Liberties page.
