@NewHampshireDOT That same day, @NHMS invited the Task Force to speak to nearly 100 security personnel ahead of this year’s NASCAR races. Big events can facilitate opportunities for traffickers, and we are thankful to both organizations for providing employee training opportunities for staff.
The Task Force led 2 separate trainings for large audiences last week! HSI Resident Agent in Charge Mike Posanka and Trooper Dave McCormack spoke to agents @NewHampshireDOT to raise awareness about human trafficking signs/ indicators, and resources and reporting protocols. (1/2)
We enjoyed meeting recently with the dedicated staff at @SeacoastYouthSv for a training on combating human trafficking and the commercial sexual exploitation of children. The group discussed risk factors for youth, screening, reporting, and trauma-informed treatment.
The NH Human Trafficking Collaborative Task Force is excited to introduce our community to Alyssa, who will intern with us over the summer! We're eager to welcome her to our team and look forward to the results of her research and outreach project.
Prosecutors across NH engaged in a 2-part training on human trafficking earlier this year that included information about the crime in the Granite State, including red flags and warning signs. Presenters discussed how a collaborative approach is key to investigating these crimes.
The Task Force recently discussed research conducted by Laura Murphy about the labor trafficking of domestic minors in the United States. We compared her findings to our own work and data in New Hampshire to increase our awareness of child labor trafficking.
Human trafficking happens when someone profits from abuse. Trends that make New Hampshire communities more vulnerable to human trafficking include the rise of online exploitation of children, the opioid crisis, and economic constraints and barriers.
