To successfully fight human trafficking, law enforcement needs an understanding of its components, from traffickers’ tactics to the populations most vulnerable to them, the indicators law enforcement may encounter while on duty and the importance of using a victim-centered approach.

Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) offers free, online modules where viewers can learn more about human trafficking from law enforcement command staff, trafficking survivors, victims’ advocates and TAT trainers. The toolkit contains information on law enforcement resources, policies to implement, victim service providers and more.

For audiences of 150+, TAT provides a 4-hour, in-depth law enforcement training on human trafficking and societal attitudes that contribute to a misunderstanding of prostitution, along with a victim-centered approach and case studies of inspection and interdiction stops that turned into human trafficking. Central to TAT’s training is a powerful survivor’s testimony with her perspectives on interactions with law enforcement she encountered.

What Officers Are Saying About The Training…

Iowa Motor Vehicle Enforcement Model

One of TAT’s most effective strategies in the fight against human trafficking is the Iowa Motor Vehicle Enforcement model (Iowa MVE), created by Chief Lorenzen, to activate law enforcement officers and state agencies in combating human trafficking. Full implementation of this model is a significant outcome of TAT's in-depth law enforcement training, as officers become educated on the issue of human trafficking themselves, and equipped to participate in public and targeted awareness campaigns that empower and mobilize additional sectors throughout their state.

TAT 38-Minute Law Enforcement Training DVD

Designed to provide an introductory education on the realities of human trafficking for all law enforcement officers, TAT's 38-minute training DVD is available in hard copy and via digital download.
