This resource was designed for US school resource officers (SRO), as they are in a unique position to reach students considered vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking.
You may be able to recognize signs that something is wrong in a student’s life. This guide seeks to inform SROs about human trafficking and its indicators so you can be better prepared to recognize a potential victim at the school you serve and know how to report a potential case. This guide includes information about:
» What human trafficking is
» How to recognize it among youth
» Tips for talking to students about general exploitation
» Building life skills that may help prevent youth from being trafficked
» Reporting options if you suspect a student is affected by human trafficking or being exploited
» Ensuring potential victims or impacted students get connected to appropriate service providers/support services
Therefore, once SROs become confident with these tools and how to implement them, schools and officers will
become better equipped to effectively combat human trafficking.
