The International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST) previously posted the FBI Featured Article: Margaret Henderson and Rick Hoffman, “Free and Low-Cost Strategies to Help Address Human Trafficking,” June 10, 2020. This is a good read for anyone involved with anti-human trafficking. The article provides:
A good list of free training resources for law enforcement organizations
A useful list of indicators (compare with the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime version; one of my favorites: UK College of Policing – website undergoing renovation)
Addresses need for victim-/survivor-/trauma-informed language
Mentions the High Risk Victim Mode and the advantages of teaming with state child welfare agencies
Provides a short list of trafficking venues (others at: Police Estimates of Sex Trafficking:Venues, Trends and Data Sources; Polaris)
Emphasizes the potential role of first responders and state inspectors (The National Prevention Toolkit On Domestic Violence And Human Trafficking For Medical Professionals - What EMS Need To Know About Human Trafficking training and certification; What You Need To Know Sex Trafficking And Sexual Exploitation - A Training Tool For EMS Providers brochure)
