| By: Dr. Stephany Powell I would like to describe my first day of ELEET (Equipping Law Enforcement to End Trafficking) training. I knew that day that if I failed, there would be no safety net…. Sweat accumulated on my brow as I scanned the room. I could tell by the students’ demeanors who had volunteered and who had been voluntold to attend the training. But once I started talking and describing the trials and tribulations that I encountered while working with victims of sex trafficking, coupled with the fact that this could be our kids and family members, I got their attention. I was so relieved after the training to have officers convey how their perceptions changed in both a professional and personal capacity as a result of the classes… By the end of the training, I can look into their eyes and know they “get it.” I can see they understand the crime and innocence taken from the minor victims, and the destruction of the community and to all those they serve. |
