Today I brought officials from the U.S. Departments of Homeland Security and Justice to train North Dakota law enforcement and victims service providers on important ways to identify and help prevent potential incidents so North Dakota’s communities will be safer and more prepared to combat this heinous crime. I’m working to make sure communities and law enforcement across the state have the knowledge and tools they need to tackle the growing problem of human trafficking in our state head-on, while also drawing Congress’ attention to this problem. Earlier this month, I launched my Strong & Safe Communities Initiative to bring a stronger focus to many of the new challenges facing our state, including the rise of human trafficking. By acknowledging these new issues and working together to stop them, we can make sure North Dakota’s communities remain safe for everyone.
