new course
This four-hour course meets the requirement for law enforcement training as mandated in California’s Proposition 35. The curriculum was developed directly from the Train the Trainers curriculum provided by the Orange County Human Trafficking Task Force and covers key areas: an introduction to human trafficking, California human trafficking laws, Federal laws, victimology, resources, and the “best practices” collaborative model approach to addressing human trafficking issues in our communities from the law enforcement perspective. This instructor, Gerard Bergeron, served on the Orange County Blue Ribbon Commission Sub-Committee on Human Trafficking, was the Human Trafficking Liaison for the Orange County Probation Department for 5 years, and has worked closely with the Orange County Human Trafficking Task force since 2009.
