BJA FY 15 Anti-Human Trafficking National Training and Technical Assistance Program for Law Enforcement Task Forces: The Anti-Human Trafficking National Training and Technical Assistance Program for Law Enforcement Task Forces, administered by BJA, is designed to provide national support and improve the capacity of state, local, and tribal criminal justice systems to increase their capacity to create and effectively operate enhanced collaborative model (ECM) human trafficking task forces, formed to investigate and prosecute the crime of human trafficking, as defined by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000. BJA has provided anti-human trafficking training to law enforcement since 2005; state prosecutors and judges since 2011; and tribal entities since 2013. The statutory authority for this program is 22 U.S.C. § 7105(b)(2).
This program is designed to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) resources that are critical to communities’ efforts to address all forms of human trafficking, through a victim- centered, enhanced collaborative approach. ECM task forces are required to be collaborative, working partnerships between local, state, and/or federal law enforcement agencies, victim service providers and other key stakeholders for the purpose of identifying victims of all forms of human trafficking, conducting proactive investigations, and effectively prosecuting the traffickers, while rescuing the victims and providing needed services.
The goal of the Anti-Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance for Law Enforcement Task Forces Program is to provide assistance to state and local law enforcement, criminal justice professionals (e.g., academic, adjudication, judicial, etc.), and communities to improve the level of knowledge, communication, collaboration, and tactics involved in addressing human trafficking in communities throughout the nation. The program combines the leadership of DOJ and the expertise of nationally recognized criminal justice practitioners and action research experts to deliver a wide variety of TTA nationwide. Programs funded under this solicitation are intended to have a national impact.
This grant announcement specifically requests applications for a nationwide TTA assistance provider; it does not solicit applications from individual jurisdictions to establish state and local anti-human trafficking task forces or training projects.
