Bill overview
This bill aims to strengthen efforts to combat child exploitation and human trafficking by expanding the availability of training and technical assistance for law enforcement. Specifically, it allows the Department of Justice to use grants from the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) to train officers on identifying and responding to trafficking cases. The bill modifies existing legislation to ensure that these grants can be used to build law enforcement capacity in addressing human trafficking. It seeks to improve the ability of law enforcement agencies to protect vulnerable children from trafficking.
