Do you provide human trafficking training? Do you have a policy/procedure in place to compliment the training and inform employees how to recognize and prevent human trafficking? This session will be a discussion format for transit agencies to share what they are doing, what is working, what has missed the intended mark, and what has exceeded expectations. Discussions will not only include training and reporting protocols, but we will also discuss implementation challenges and successes, community partnerships, law enforcement coordination, use of technology, funding sources, impact measures, and more. You will leave this session with additional resources to assist you, and your agency, in the fight against human trafficking.
