North Carolina Transit Workers Learn How To Spot This Often Unseen Crime
Human trafficking is a growing problem in the Tarheel State. Now, North Carolina transit workers are receiving training on how to spot this often unseen crime.
According to the North Carolina Human Trafficking Commission, the state consistently ranks within the top 10
states for human trafficking. It has been trending upward in recent years and is the second largest criminal activity in the world.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has rolled out an educational campaign aimed at teaching transit drivers, travelers, and others how to properly identify and handle suspected cases of human trafficking. By recognizing the signs of human trafficking, officials hope travelers and transit employees can more effectively address the problem.
