Welcome to

Police officers from around Florida spent the day at the Department of Law Enforcement learning about the latest trends in sex trafficking. Terry Koonan from the FSU Center for the Advancement of Human Rights says sex trafficking is on the rise and often doesn’t rely on the traditional brothels, but instead on the internet. “Prostitution is a delivery service. We’re actually seeing pimps bring young women out, who often times, the young women owe twenty or thirty or forty thousand dollars for smuggling debts, for having brought them here to Florida” says Koonan.

The day long seminar is designed to give officers insight into how to combat sex trafficking.
