The trucking, bus, and energy industries can play a significant role in the fight against human trafficking. Understanding how to partner with these industries can enhance human trafficking task force investigations, prosecutions, and the ability to identify victims.

During this webinar, participants hear from Officer Scott Bailey from Aspinwall (PA) Police Department and his son, Trevor. Speaking from his experience as a law enforcement officer and a parent of two boys with autism, Officer Bailey presents on what officers in the field need to know about interacting with individuals with developmental disabilities. He is joined by his son, Trevor, who takes questions about his experiences interacting with officers.

Human trafficking affects the most vulnerable in our communities. Meaningful engagement with marginalized and at-risk communities and those that serve those communities can build trust and sustainable relationships that in turn can improve responses to sex and labor trafficking. When effective and sustained community engagement is prioritized, more victims can be identified and provided with individualized services and more traffickers can be held accountable.

A training series geared towards addressing vicarious trauma response across both the Vicarious Trauma Response Initiative (VTRI) project sites and any agency or organization interested in addressing vicarious trauma.

Serving crime victims from linguistically diverse communities requires preparation and use of strategies embedded at all layers of the justice process. Framed around the seven critical needs of victims (safety, support, information, access, continuity, voice, justice), this webinar provides law enforcement and allied professionals an overview of legal obligations and standards around language access, tips for working with interpreters, and promising practices for police agencies. By addressing language access needs, agencies can eliminate or reduce barriers and support victims’ participation in the criminal justice system, thereby enhancing investigations, prosecution of crimes, and public safety.
