MISSION
The National Institute for Human Trafficking Research and Training is a non-profit, non-governmental organization that focuses on the subject of human trafficking. It provides research and awareness training for law enforcement, social service providers, faith-based communities, and centers of learning and higher education.
EDUCATION
Human Trafficking, commonly referred to as “modern day slavery” is a global phenomenon that involves obtaining or maintaining the labor or service of another through the use of force, fraud, or coercion in violation of an individual’s human rights.
STRATEGIES
Due to the covert nature of the crime, human trafficking will likely come to your attention indirectly. Some examples of state and federal violations that may lead you to uncover elements of human trafficking include:
RESPONSE
Successful response to human trafficking crimes requires community collaboration. That means Law Enforcement working hand in hand with Social Service Providers to assist victims of Human Trafficking.
TRAINING
In many communities across the United States, law enforcement agencies are not up to speed when it comes to Human Trafficking Awareness Training.
What They Say
"“Training for state agencies is crucial – and it pays off”"
