Description

**This presentation is for sworn law enforcement only and analysts who are employed with sworn law enforcement agencies.

This comprehensive training equips professionals with the tools to recognize, respond to, and prevent familial trafficking of boys. Traffickers exploit family ties to control boys for labor or sexual purposes, often using manipulation, coercion, and emotional control. Participants will learn to identify risk factors, behavioral indicators, and the complex power dynamics in family-based trafficking involving boys. With a trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach, the training integrates real-life examples and survivor insights to provide practical strategies to support young male victims and prevent exploitation.
