ORLANDO, Fla. — Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the launch of the Combat Violent Extremism Portal on Monday at Valencia College in Orlando.
The portal aims to help citizens report politically motivated violence directly to the Office of Statewide Prosecution.
The secure online portal allows the public to anonymously submit evidence, such as screenshots and videos, of threats.
