Investigation (Levels I, II, III)

Have you ever wondered ‘How do I know if I’m seeing case of trafficking and what do I do if I see it?’ The Investigator Academy seeks to answer this and many more questions you have about trafficking in your area.

The Investigator Academy is an intensive training for individuals who want to learn how to identify, document, map and work with the anti-trafficking agencies in your city or country. Attendees gain in-depth knowledge about the many types of human trafficking in the United States and beyond.

Drawing from hands-on training and sessions with experts in the field (law enforcement, service providers, legal teams, community-based organizations and more) attendees learn how to identify possible cases of human trafficking, how to properly record and document potential high probability locations, and how to liaison and work with partners such as law enforcement, service providers, legal teams, and others.

Learn what you can do as an active abolitionist in your city… the do’s and dont’s of being a concerned citizen, documenting and working with organizations in your area.

Important Note: The Not For Sale Campaign Investigator Academy does not instruct or condone aggressive investigative procedures or techniques.  To reiterate our investigators are trained to passively investigate, research and document suspected areas of human trafficking in their local areas.
