New Tool in The Fight Against Human Trafficking in Nevada

Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt’s office has created a Law Enforcement Screening Tool for Victims of Human Trafficking. The tool aids law enforcement working with survivors of human trafficking to better investigate those crimes. Survivors are often arrested, detained, prosecuted and convicted without ever being identified as victims. The screening tool provides law enforcement with a series of questions to better determine whether law enforcement contact is related to sex or labor trafficking, and the circumstances in the survivor’s lives surrounding prior contacts with law enforcement.
