This threat poses unique and complex challenges for U.S. state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies. In this workshop, representatives from the National Gang Center, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and the National Gang Intelligence Center will provide law enforcement executives with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to protect communities and children from the tragedy of gang-involved child sex trafficking. This course is targeted toward law enforcement executives and commanders but is open to all law enforcement and support personnel.
