Instructor: Fernando Huerta, Task Force Commander of the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force (SD HTTF), U.S. Department of Justice

A federal study revealed that California is one of the top five states leading the way in human trafficking. The SD HTTF was formed in 2015 and utilizes the model advanced by the U.S. and California Department of Justice to successfully combat human trafficking through the 4 P’s: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution, and Partnerships. The mission of the SD HTTF is to disrupt and dismantle human trafficking and child exploitation organizations through a comprehensive, collaborative and regional law enforcement and prosecution response, in order to identify and rescue victims and hold their offenders accountable; along with promoting  community awareness, expanding the exchange of information, and enhancing law enforcement resources and training.

This workshop will help caregivers to become educated and aware of Human Trafficking in San Diego County, how to protect children from becoming victims and community resources that are available.

Please note, no childcare is provided or available onsite. Do not bring babies or children to class. Thank you!
