We have training specifically designed for Law Enforcement as well as Faith and Community Based Organizations.

The Law Enforcement training includes a variety of topics not available to Faith and Community Based Organizations due to the complexity of the investigations and legal requirements for prosecution.  

However, both pieces of training encourage collaboration with Law Enforcement, Faith and Community Based Organizations for the well-being of the victim(s) and the successful prosecution of the Trafficker.

The training for Faith and Community-Based Organizations will help to prepare for successful "Exits" as well as develop a checklist package to ensure all safety protocols are in place prior to, during, and after the Exit.


For more information please contact us at the above email or phone number.
