Considering the clandestine nature of human trafficking, how does law enforcement learn of potential cases to investigate?
A9: Information may be obtained from: • the public reporting suspicious activities • government agencies and non-government organizations (i.e. working at ports of entry or dealing with health and social services) • international agencies working in partnership to combat human trafficking • victims escaping from traffickers • law enforcement conducting criminal investigations. It is also the responsibility of law enforcement to seek out and identify potential victims through awareness initiatives and investigations.
