Dan Nash & The Human Trafficking Training Center Instructors

The problem with most anti-human trafficking training provided to law enforcement is that it merely teaches what trafficking is and how to identify it. Such trainings are really, in effect, nothing more than awareness events. In order to be effective, law enforcement needs to learn actual skills so they are equipped to conduct investigations that ensure arrests and prosecutions, know how to properly interview a possible victim or offender, know how to set up various proactive operations, or even how to write up the proper reports.

To use an analogy, we cannot expect law enforcement officers to arrest drunk drivers if all we do is tell them what a drunk driver looks like. We also need to teach them how to administer a standard field sobriety test, and other basic related police skills. The same is true for human trafficking. Across the country, a small fraction of law enforcement officers receives any training whatsoever on human trafficking and most of that training doesn’t provide practical skills that officers can use in the field.

The Human Trafficking Training Center was established to solve all those problems and to address the resulting shortcomings in law enforcement’s response to human trafficking across the country (and certainly the world).

HTTC’s programs benefit from Dan’s 27 years in law enforcement and his years of experience investigating human trafficking cases, Alison’s 10 plus years in victim advocacy, client-centered research and multi-disciplinary team building, and the invaluable contributions of our team of survivor leaders. Together, we provide the most comprehensive anti-human trafficking programs available so that your organization gets measurable results and improved performance.
