Mayor Eric Adams on Friday tapped mental health counselor and researcher Vijah Ramjattan to lead the city’s hate crimes prevention unit months after firing the job’s last occupant.
Hizzoner appointed Ramjattan executive director of the Mayor’s Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes (OPHC) on Jan. 3. In his new role, Ramjattan will coordinate efforts across city agencies to prevent bias-based incidents at the community level and support victims of hate crimes across the Big Apple.
