To help law enforcement to identify a person who is a victim of human trafficking, Senator Wayne Shaw has filed Senate Bill 1569 to require the Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET) to establish training resources for law enforcement. Shaw’s goal is to give them the tools they need to recognize the signs of human trafficking.
“Oklahoma is a prime route for traffickers because of the many interstate highways that cut through our state,” Shaw said. “We must equip our law enforcement officers with every tool possible to quickly identify the women, children and men forced into trafficking and intervene on their behalf.”
Shaw’s bill refers to a screening assessment law enforcement officers could use when investigating a possible case of trafficking.
