00:00:03.056 --> 00:00:05.996 align:start
Recognizing and reporting

00:00:05.996 --> 00:00:06.696 align:start
suspected victims

00:00:06.696 --> 00:00:08.456 align:start
of human trafficking.

00:00:08.456 --> 00:00:11.596 align:start
Human trafficking involves the

00:00:11.596 --> 00:00:13.216 align:start
use of force, fraud,

00:00:13.216 --> 00:00:14.696 align:start
or coercion in exchange

00:00:14.696 --> 00:00:16.406 align:start
for labor, services,

00:00:16.406 --> 00:00:18.286 align:start
or a commercial sex act

00:00:18.286 --> 00:00:19.836 align:start
When most people think

00:00:19.836 --> 00:00:21.586 align:start
of human trafficking,

00:00:21.586 --> 00:00:22.246 align:start
they tend to think

00:00:22.246 --> 00:00:23.106 align:start
of sex trafficking.

00:00:23.646 --> 00:00:25.606 align:start
But human trafficking also

00:00:25.606 --> 00:00:26.826 align:start
includes forced labor

00:00:26.826 --> 00:00:28.836 align:start
and domestic servitude-both

00:00:28.836 --> 00:00:29.756 align:start
of which are far

00:00:29.756 --> 00:00:30.986 align:start
more widespread.

00:00:30.986 --> 00:00:34.106 align:start
All trafficking is

00:00:34.106 --> 00:00:35.246 align:start
exploitation-based

00:00:35.246 --> 00:00:37.116 align:start
and does not require movement

00:00:37.116 --> 00:00:38.116 align:start
across borders,

00:00:38.116 --> 00:00:40.126 align:start
or any type of transportation.

00:00:40.126 --> 00:00:44.426 align:start
As a highly profitable crime,

00:00:44.426 --> 00:00:46.786 align:start
human trafficking can happen

00:00:46.786 --> 00:00:48.686 align:start
in any community...in cities,

00:00:48.686 --> 00:00:50.006 align:start
suburbs, towns,

00:00:50.326 --> 00:00:51.706 align:start
and rural areas all

00:00:51.706 --> 00:00:52.526 align:start
over the United States.

00:00:52.526 --> 00:00:55.276 align:start
It can happen at truck stops,

00:00:55.466 --> 00:00:58.856 align:start
hotels, clubs, factories, farms,

00:00:59.076 --> 00:00:59.956 align:start
construction sites,

00:01:00.116 --> 00:01:01.456 align:start
and private homes.

00:01:01.456 --> 00:01:04.906 align:start
Traffickers

00:01:04.906 --> 00:01:06.856 align:start
and victims can be any age,

00:01:06.976 --> 00:01:08.736 align:start
race, gender, or nationality.

00:01:08.846 --> 00:01:10.656 align:start
Language barriers,

00:01:11.296 --> 00:01:12.436 align:start
fear of their traffickers,

00:01:12.756 --> 00:01:13.276 align:start
and/or fear

00:01:13.276 --> 00:01:14.956 align:start
of law enforcement frequently

00:01:14.956 --> 00:01:16.956 align:start
keep victims from seeking help,

00:01:16.956 --> 00:01:18.216 align:start
making human trafficking a

00:01:18.216 --> 00:01:19.086 align:start
hidden crime.

00:01:19.086 --> 00:01:22.236 align:start
And even when victims are right

00:01:22.236 --> 00:01:23.546 align:start
in front of us,

00:01:23.546 --> 00:01:24.746 align:start
they are often invisible

00:01:25.496 --> 00:01:26.096 align:start
because most

00:01:26.096 --> 00:01:27.276 align:start
of us do not recognize

00:01:27.306 --> 00:01:27.746 align:start
the signs.

00:01:27.746 --> 00:01:30.546 align:start
In this video, you'll learn how

00:01:30.546 --> 00:01:32.666 align:start
to recognize key indicators

00:01:32.666 --> 00:01:33.976 align:start
of potential human trafficking,

00:01:34.096 --> 00:01:35.526 align:start
record what you see,

00:01:35.526 --> 00:01:37.176 align:start
and report what you've seen

00:01:37.176 --> 00:01:38.576 align:start
to the appropriate authorities.

00:01:38.646 --> 00:01:40.976 align:start
Recognizing the signs is the

00:01:40.976 --> 00:01:42.416 align:start
first step in identifying

00:01:42.416 --> 00:01:44.416 align:start
victims and could help save

00:01:44.416 --> 00:01:44.766 align:start
a life.

00:01:44.956 --> 00:01:49.426 align:start
Remember: See...Call...Save.

00:01:49.686 --> 00:01:53.746 align:start
As a responder working

00:01:53.796 --> 00:01:55.266 align:start
in disaster-stricken areas,

00:01:55.616 --> 00:01:57.236 align:start
you may be in a perfect position

00:01:57.236 --> 00:01:58.456 align:start
to recognize a trafficking

00:01:58.456 --> 00:02:00.956 align:start
situation...if you know what

00:02:00.956 --> 00:02:02.786 align:start
to look for.

00:02:02.786 --> 00:02:04.026 align:start
Human traffickers may view

00:02:04.026 --> 00:02:05.226 align:start
disaster responders

00:02:05.226 --> 00:02:06.356 align:start
as a potential source

00:02:06.356 --> 00:02:07.716 align:start
of easy income.

00:02:07.716 --> 00:02:08.916 align:start
So, they may let their guard

00:02:08.916 --> 00:02:10.406 align:start
down and be less likely

00:02:10.406 --> 00:02:11.506 align:start
to hide their victims,

00:02:11.736 --> 00:02:12.776 align:start
compared to interactions

00:02:12.776 --> 00:02:14.876 align:start
with law enforcement.

00:02:14.876 --> 00:02:16.036 align:start
As you perform your job,

00:02:16.346 --> 00:02:17.306 align:start
you may witness some

00:02:17.306 --> 00:02:18.186 align:start
of the indicators

00:02:18.186 --> 00:02:19.886 align:start
of human trafficking...from both

00:02:19.886 --> 00:02:21.546 align:start
traffickers and victims.

00:02:21.546 --> 00:02:26.376 align:start
Remember that not all indicators

00:02:26.376 --> 00:02:27.576 align:start
we're about to describe may be

00:02:27.576 --> 00:02:29.006 align:start
present in every situation,

00:02:29.126 --> 00:02:30.746 align:start
and the presence of any

00:02:30.746 --> 00:02:32.116 align:start
of the indicators is not

00:02:32.116 --> 00:02:33.266 align:start
necessarily proof

00:02:33.266 --> 00:02:34.126 align:start
of human trafficking.

00:02:34.216 --> 00:02:36.556 align:start
Some of these signs may relate

00:02:36.596 --> 00:02:37.406 align:start
to the disaster you've

00:02:37.406 --> 00:02:38.076 align:start
responded to.

00:02:38.076 --> 00:02:40.596 align:start
But if something doesn't feel

00:02:40.596 --> 00:02:42.086 align:start
right, and you see one

00:02:42.086 --> 00:02:43.136 align:start
or more indicators,

00:02:43.626 --> 00:02:44.716 align:start
report what you've seen,

00:02:45.286 --> 00:02:46.786 align:start
so that trained law enforcement

00:02:46.786 --> 00:02:47.556 align:start
can make the call.

00:02:49.856 --> 00:02:53.236 align:start
Remember: See...Call...Save.

00:02:55.706 --> 00:02:57.196 align:start
Keep your eyes and ears open

00:02:57.196 --> 00:02:58.136 align:start
for both physical

00:02:58.236 --> 00:02:59.576 align:start
and social indicators.

00:03:01.646 --> 00:03:02.276 align:start
If you are talking

00:03:02.276 --> 00:03:03.246 align:start
to a potential victim

00:03:03.836 --> 00:03:04.796 align:start
or if they are nearby,

00:03:05.516 --> 00:03:08.686 align:start
look for PHYSICAL indicators.

00:03:08.686 --> 00:03:09.906 align:start
Does the person show signs

00:03:09.906 --> 00:03:11.376 align:start
of abuse, restraint,

00:03:11.656 --> 00:03:13.026 align:start
confinement, or torture?

00:03:13.606 --> 00:03:15.376 align:start
Does the person have bruises

00:03:15.376 --> 00:03:20.616 align:start
in various stages of healing?

00:03:20.616 --> 00:03:21.816 align:start
Does the person show signs

00:03:21.816 --> 00:03:23.036 align:start
of being deprived of food,

00:03:23.306 --> 00:03:24.266 align:start
water, sleep,

00:03:24.666 --> 00:03:25.916 align:start
other life necessities,

00:03:25.986 --> 00:03:27.166 align:start
or personal possessions?

00:03:27.166 --> 00:03:28.906 align:start
Or living in unsafe

00:03:28.906 --> 00:03:29.976 align:start
or unsuitable conditions?

00:03:29.976 --> 00:03:32.796 align:start
In addition

00:03:32.796 --> 00:03:34.386 align:start
to these physical indicators,

00:03:34.386 --> 00:03:35.526 align:start
if you are speaking

00:03:35.526 --> 00:03:36.546 align:start
to potential victims,

00:03:36.546 --> 00:03:38.226 align:start
look for SOCIAL indicators.

00:03:38.226 --> 00:03:41.836 align:start
Is the person disoriented

00:03:42.256 --> 00:03:43.846 align:start
or confused?

00:03:43.846 --> 00:03:46.356 align:start
Does the person act fearful,

00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:48.046 align:start
nervous, depressed,

00:03:48.636 --> 00:03:52.396 align:start
submissive, or tense?

00:03:52.396 --> 00:03:53.496 align:start
Does the individual avoid eye

00:03:54.236 --> 00:03:55.866 align:start
contact, appear to be coached

00:03:55.866 --> 00:03:56.636 align:start
on what to say,

00:03:57.176 --> 00:03:58.556 align:start
or defer to someone else

00:03:58.556 --> 00:04:01.736 align:start
to speak up for him or her?

00:04:01.736 --> 00:04:02.376 align:start
When speaking

00:04:02.376 --> 00:04:03.586 align:start
to potential traffickers,

00:04:03.586 --> 00:04:04.766 align:start
pay attention

00:04:04.766 --> 00:04:05.416 align:start
to the following

00:04:05.416 --> 00:04:06.576 align:start
social indicators.

00:04:06.576 --> 00:04:08.786 align:start
Does the person appear

00:04:08.786 --> 00:04:09.986 align:start
to be holding a large group

00:04:09.986 --> 00:04:10.726 align:start
in one place

00:04:10.726 --> 00:04:11.696 align:start
with poor conditions

00:04:11.696 --> 00:04:12.486 align:start
and limited space?

00:04:12.486 --> 00:04:14.866 align:start
Is the person constantly

00:04:14.866 --> 00:04:16.166 align:start
watching or accompanying the

00:04:16.166 --> 00:04:19.096 align:start
potential victims?

00:04:19.096 --> 00:04:21.086 align:start
Is the person being physically

00:04:21.086 --> 00:04:22.466 align:start
or verbally abusive

00:04:22.466 --> 00:04:23.096 align:start
or threatening

00:04:23.096 --> 00:04:24.206 align:start
to potential victims?

00:04:24.206 --> 00:04:26.786 align:start
If you spot any

00:04:26.786 --> 00:04:27.736 align:start
of these indicators,

00:04:27.736 --> 00:04:28.936 align:start
do not attempt

00:04:28.966 --> 00:04:30.036 align:start
to confront suspected

00:04:30.036 --> 00:04:31.166 align:start
traffickers directly

00:04:31.426 --> 00:04:32.706 align:start
or alert potential victims

00:04:32.706 --> 00:04:34.686 align:start
to your suspicions.

00:04:34.686 --> 00:04:36.026 align:start
Your safety as well

00:04:36.026 --> 00:04:37.216 align:start
as the victims' safety is

00:04:37.216 --> 00:04:38.306 align:start
extremely important.

00:04:38.306 --> 00:04:41.996 align:start
Instead, observe as much

00:04:41.996 --> 00:04:43.436 align:start
as you can without alerting the

00:04:43.436 --> 00:04:44.586 align:start
suspected traffickers

00:04:44.586 --> 00:04:46.766 align:start
or victims.

00:04:46.766 --> 00:04:48.916 align:start
For example, note the number

00:04:48.916 --> 00:04:49.996 align:start
of individuals involved.

00:04:50.856 --> 00:04:51.746 align:start
Observe details

00:04:51.746 --> 00:04:53.386 align:start
about physical appearance

00:04:53.386 --> 00:04:54.766 align:start
such as approximate age,

00:04:54.766 --> 00:04:55.916 align:start
hair and eye color,

00:04:56.436 --> 00:04:57.956 align:start
race or ethnicity,

00:04:57.956 --> 00:04:59.346 align:start
prominent facial features,

00:04:59.346 --> 00:05:00.436 align:start
and/or tattoos.

00:05:00.626 --> 00:05:01.556 align:start
Pay attention

00:05:01.736 --> 00:05:03.346 align:start
to any nicknames being used,

00:05:03.346 --> 00:05:04.636 align:start
and any indicators

00:05:04.636 --> 00:05:05.596 align:start
of gang affiliation.

00:05:05.716 --> 00:05:09.626 align:start
After you leave write

00:05:09.626 --> 00:05:11.446 align:start
down anything you can remember.

00:05:11.716 --> 00:05:12.456 align:start
Compare notes

00:05:12.456 --> 00:05:13.516 align:start
with any other responder

00:05:13.556 --> 00:05:15.346 align:start
who was with you.

00:05:16.486 --> 00:05:18.096 align:start
Then, as soon as possible,

00:05:18.746 --> 00:05:20.126 align:start
call the Homeland Security

00:05:20.126 --> 00:05:22.096 align:start
Investigations Tip Line at one,

00:05:22.376 --> 00:05:24.176 align:start
eight-six-six, three-four-seven,

00:05:24.706 --> 00:05:25.946 align:start
two-four-two-three.

00:05:26.906 --> 00:05:27.966 align:start
This line accepts human

00:05:27.966 --> 00:05:29.536 align:start
trafficking tips and can work

00:05:29.536 --> 00:05:30.486 align:start
with its law enforcement

00:05:30.486 --> 00:05:31.716 align:start
resources to help victims

00:05:31.966 --> 00:05:32.686 align:start
and open cases.

00:05:32.686 --> 00:05:35.796 align:start
You can also get help

00:05:35.846 --> 00:05:37.176 align:start
by making an anonymous call

00:05:37.226 --> 00:05:38.156 align:start
to the National Human

00:05:38.156 --> 00:05:39.956 align:start
Trafficking Hotline at one,

00:05:40.256 --> 00:05:40.866 align:start
eight-eight-eight,

00:05:41.456 --> 00:05:42.226 align:start
three-seven-three,

00:05:42.936 --> 00:05:44.126 align:start
seven-eight-eight-eight.

00:05:44.946 --> 00:05:46.416 align:start
That's one, eight-eight-eight,

00:05:46.836 --> 00:05:47.666 align:start
three-seven-three,

00:05:48.106 --> 00:05:49.386 align:start
seven-eight-eight-eight.

00:05:50.896 --> 00:05:51.906 align:start
It's better to report

00:05:51.906 --> 00:05:52.466 align:start
and be wrong

00:05:52.936 --> 00:05:54.016 align:start
than to ignore what you've seen

00:05:54.286 --> 00:05:56.396 align:start
and possibly fail to save lives.

00:05:57.086 --> 00:05:57.876 align:start
You now know how

00:05:57.876 --> 00:05:59.116 align:start
to identify indicators

00:05:59.116 --> 00:05:59.806 align:start
of human trafficking,

00:06:00.596 --> 00:06:00.996 align:start
who to call,

00:06:00.996 --> 00:06:02.496 align:start
and how to report the

00:06:02.616 --> 00:06:03.716 align:start
information you observe.

00:06:03.746 --> 00:06:05.496 align:start
You have the ability
