As a campus law enforcement or public safety official, you are in a unique position to reach students considered vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. You play an important role because you regularly interact with the same groups of students as part of your daily job duties and often gain their trust.
You may also be able to recognize when something is wrong in a student’s life. The purpose of this guide is to inform campus law enforcement and public safety officials about human trafficking and its indicators so that you can be better prepared to recognize a potential victim at the college or university campus you serve. It also includes information about taking a victim-centered approach and how trauma can affect victim behavior that you may be witnessing.
