New resources for campus law enforcement officials, front-line convenience industry employees, and individuals who work with and care for youth are now available! These audiences are in the position to potentially observe, respond to, and/or prevent human trafficking during their day-to-day jobs. Blue Campaign collaborated with subject matter experts and human trafficking survivors to develop relevant resources with actionable information.
You can now download and share all the following new resources:
-
A guide and indicator card for campus law enforcement and public safety officials with information about recognizing and responding to suspected human trafficking with a victim-centered approach.
-
A guide for front-line employees working in convenience stores and other quick-stop retail environments with information on how to recognize and report suspected human trafficking.
-
A prevention guide for individuals who work with or care for youth about how to talk to young people about exploitation and protecting themselves.
-
A prevention poster series to reach youth with a message about protecting themselves from exploitation.
Use these materials to train employees, share them with your networks, and/or distribute them online or in relevant community or office spaces. Email BlueCampaign@hq.dhs.govand let us know how you are using the materials; we always appreciate updates from our stakeholders.
