AEquitas participated in a call on January 7, 2020 with the Las Vegas Human Trafficking Task Force to address needs related to investigating and charging money laundering, prosecuting cases involving immigrant victims, and using expert witnesses.

On June 24, 2020 IACP hosted the Analyzing Culpability/Charging Decisions in Human Trafficking Cases. This presentation was designed to improve human trafficking responses and to better investigate and prosecute traffickers while ensuring that victims are not inappropriately charged with crimes they are forced to commit.
This virtual training event is a delivery under Cooperative Agreement 2017-VT-BX-K101, in order to equip law enforcement and prosecutors with knowledge, understanding, and proven practices for anti-labor trafficking identification, investigations, and prosecutions. Labor Trafficking training is priority for the law enforcement field across the country, and this delivery addresses that demand from the field.
Throughout the period of January 2020 through June 2020, this project received and addressed, via email and phone communication, requests for information on anti-human trafficking training, technical assistance, and resources. The project staff tracked, addressed, and has kept record of all requests addressed through funding from award 2017-VT-BX-K101.
The IACP received a request from Rachel Parker, Program Manger, World Relief Triad, in regards to forced begging/peddling and sales crews. Rachel also requested to be put into contact with someone in the field that had experience with intervention strategies pertaining to this topic. The IACP tasked Theresa Nietzel, Detective, Erie County Sheriff's Office, with coordinating a response to the technical assistance request. Detective Nietzel was able to provide Rachel Parker with experience and strategies she has used within her agency.
