In August 2020, the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) released the report “How Local Police Can Combat the Global Problem of Human Trafficking: Collaboration, Training, Support for Victims, and Technology Are Keys to Success.” The report was developed from PERF’s Critical Issues in Policing conference held on August 5, 2019, where approximately 200 individuals from backgrounds in anti-trafficking participated in dynamic discussions on the issue. The report outlines key issues related to combatting human trafficking, including implementing effective training, supporting victims, and improving prosecution and investigation of such cases.
