Learn how land-use policy and advocacy planning can help provide a framework that city, county, and tribal governments can use in the fight against human trafficking. Human trafficking training is typically for first responders, law enforcement, and anti-trafficking organizations. This course seeks to provide proactive methods for other individuals, such as code enforcement personnel and land-use planners.
