“For law enforcement, I found the module dealing with the victimology and victim characteristics to be very helpful. For patrol officers and investigators less familiar with these crimes and this culture, understanding the trauma, mentality and psyche of these victims is the most difficult to comprehend and understand.

The LEO training modules are very beneficial to assisting officers in investigating these horrendous crimes and providing better service to the victims and the community.”

“As the detention manager, I am always looking for valuable training resources. One of the challenges faced by detention centers is sending staff to in-person training due to staffing levels and shifts. Your training modules have been a great benefit, since they are accessible to all staff at any time. All staff members have been able to review and complete the training modules during their various working days and schedules.

The feedback I have received indicates that everyone learned something new about human trafficking and can apply this knowledge directly to their work to help identify victims.”

“I found TAT’s training modules to be very informative. Online training can be hit or miss. This was a hit and was exactly what I’ve been looking for to get our officers and dispatchers the basics of recognizing sex trafficking and how to follow through.”

“As the training coordinator for CMV law enforcement inspectors, the opportunity to provide virtual training to all our members has proven to be extremely advantageous. By offering this training online, our members can conveniently access it whenever they are available, without having to be taken off the road. Additionally, this virtual option ensures that no member misses out on the training, simply because they are unavailable for in-person sessions.”

“These training modules provided that missing piece. Knowledge is power, and this will provide the officers with knowledge on what steps to take and not take during the initial investigation process. This will make a huge difference in putting a stop to human trafficking with, hopefully, arrests and victims getting the assistance they need.”
