DHS, Blue Campaign: Human Trafficking Response Guide for Campus Law Enforcement and School Resource Officers (June 5, 2025) [pdf]

As a school resource officer (SRO), you are in a unique position to reach students considered vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. You play an important role because you may regularly interact with different students as part of your daily job duties, thus often building rapport amongst the student body and gaining their trust. 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.
