The Kansas City Citizens' Civil Rights Advisory Committee was formed in July of 2002 to assemble contacts in the minority communities to assist the FBI in identifying possible Civil Rights violations warranting FBI investigation.

The mission of the KCCRAC is as follows:

1. Assist and identify possible federal criminal civil rights violations
2. Educate the members regarding the FBI/United States Attorney's Office's role in civil rights investigations and prosecutions.
3. Identify pertinent civil rights issues/concerns in the community that warrant the group's attention.
4. Provide continuing education on timely civil rights topics.
5. Attempt to foster a better understanding of the FBI's role in civil rights matters within the minority community in order to develop a greater level of trust and support.
6. Conduct an annual civil rights public forum.
7. The KCCRCAC meets on a quarterly basis, with more frequent contact made throughout the year with committee members.
