Your Agency Protocol Sample Local Protocol: Contact Supervisor to request to contact the investigative unit responsible for Human Trafficking Supervisor contacts Watch Commander/Duty Officer and highlight the indicators of HT Commander contacts investigative unit responsible for Human Trafficking for a consult with investigator on next steps If no investigative response: Contact victim services, if appropriate Document and send report to investigative unit

Decision to Arrest What is my agency’s policy on arresting for prostitution? What alternatives do I have besides arrest? Do I need to arrest for the victim’s safety? Is the child going to be safe if I don’t arrest her/him? Does she/he have the means to get herself/himself out of the situation? If it’s a child, do I have a responsible caregiver to place her/him with? If you have Safe Harbor laws, discuss this.

Interacting with a Potential Victim Why? Don’t screw up the case. Officer’s interaction with a potential victim is critically important. By treating a potential victim with respect, it makes victims more cooperative, easier for Investigators Sets tone for the entire case Affects victims

Interacting with a Potential Victim Keep in mind: She/he may not be who she/he says she/he is Not going to give up her/his trafficker Not going to self-report victimization. Consider LGBTQI

Interacting with a Potential Victim Victims won’t be cooperative with an officer who is: Disrespectful Being condescending Asking her/him what the weirdest sex act she/he had performed Yelling at them Judgmental Looking down on her/him Mocking her/him Dishonest Don’t lie to them Don’t promise anything you can’ t deliver on Don’t say “everything is going to be alright

Considerations for Evidence Collection Identifications (documents, scars/marks/tattoos) Cell phones Pre-paid credit cards Hotel keycards/magnet cards Laptop/tablets Receipts (travel, hotel, stores, etc.) Sexual paraphernalia (condoms, lubrication, baby wipes, baby oil) Ledgers/notebooks with numbers, dollar amounts, etc. Photograph scene: Victims Suspects Johns/buyers Friends/others Vehicles Location/scene Surveillance videos from scene and close proximity

Documentation Make sure to include in your reports/field contacts/however you document your encounter why you suspect it as a trafficking scenario and indicators. Things Not to Say: Willing participant Sex Trafficking Unfounded She/he did not disclose any evidence of trafficking Avoid Making Medical or Psychological Diagnosis in Report Her/his story is not credible, she/he is a known liar

Add Local Point of Contact Add local point of contact information for officers.
