AD5 Seeing What Others Don ’ t: How the Fire and Emergency Medical Services can be Trained to Identify Human Trafficking 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm Instructors: Heather Marques and Benjamin Thomas Greer The American Fire and Emergency Medical Services sit at a criti cal juncture of public health, public security, and public trust. As community based first responders, they have unique access to environments which would be otherwise inaccessible to law enforcement or social services. All available data indicates many of our communities have a significant human trafficking problem; one that is targeting and exploiting the most vulnera ble among us. Studies show firefighters and paramedics are likely to unknowingly interact with victims/survivors of traffick ing and or be exposed to trafficking related suspicious activity. By properly training and integrating Fire/EMS personnel in the national antitrafficking response structure we will significantly increase our ability to identify human trafficking related suspi cious behavior, victims of exploitation thus hold the perpetra tors accountable for their criminal actions. This class will pre pare agencies for responding to Assembly Bill 2130, requiring new EMTs and paramedics to undergo mandatory human trafficking awareness training, and create a pathway for train ing first responders statewide in intervention.
