LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles Police Department expanded its Community Online Reporting Service (CORS) system Jan. 12 to include the category of “hate incidents” in an effort to combat what officials called the “under-reporting of bias-motivated incidents” that fall short of being considered crimes.

LAPD Chief Michel Moore announced the expansion to the CORS program at a news conference at police headquarters on Thursday morning.
