While investigating suspected instances of labor trafficking, investigators must consider a series of steps involved in building a successful labor trafficking case that includes victim recruitment, case discovery and management, case prosecution, and the resulting response from victim services providers. As part of the collaborative Partnerships to Address Labor Trafficking project between IIR and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the IIR staff and leading subject-matter experts developed and hosted a webinar exploring and discussing the life cycle of a labor trafficking case. Investigators benefited from expert firsthand knowledge that demonstrated a holistic approach to investigating these complex cases.

This collaborative project and developed resources aim to improve awareness, responsiveness, and accountability among law enforcement, businesses, communities, and other stakeholders on labor trafficking.
