San Diego County to Form a Human Trafficking Taskforce

Oct. 21, 2014 (San Diego) The San Diego County board of supervisors got a report on the multifaceted aspects of human trafficking in San Diego. According to the District Attorney’s office, San Diego is the 13th highest child prostitution areas in the country. They are quoting Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) data.

This effort started with the formation of an advisory council that reported today on their finding. Members of this council came from multiple areas of law enforcement, the private sector and academia. Jenee Littrell, an expert in the subject, and an educator, led them. This initial advisory board was established June 14, 2011.

According to one of the members of the team, “this has been a labor of love with all the subcommittees coming together.” In the initial testimony to the board human trafficking was spoken as “this incredible human rights violation of women, children and men being prevented from pursuing the dream that the constitution gave us.”

During the hearing the other side of the trade, and that is international human trafficking, which was highlighted during the summer, was never addressed. Regardless, the advisory commission came with a series of recommendations to the board, and how to implement them.

It is clear that due to the relationships formed, different agencies are “working more efficiently and better than we were before”

The education subcommittee would like to continue with education awareness with school personnel across San Diego County. This is critical, they want to be able to share information legally between agencies across the county to avoid anybody from falling through the cracks.

As far as law enforcement and the Office of the District Attorney, they match. They both want the formation of a county wide taskforce and increased education. IN addition “we also have victim identification as a big goal.” The reason, is that “victims do not self-identify as victims.” This will include identifying and helping child victims, which is a special challenge.

Some of these recommendations include training in trauma, and high levels of coordination between all areas of government, ranging from law enforcement to health and human services. Most importantly, and some of this already recognized, not treating the victims of trafficking, especially those in the sex trade, as prostitutes, but as victims of rape.

Before the vote, Supervisor Greg Cox did muse that the Gang Taskforce started in a similar way, and that the recommendations would require money. So now, one of the challenges is getting the funds to implement the recommendations.

Board members were very impressed. Chairwoman Dianne Jacob would like to make San Diego go down in the list of regions where this problem is well-known. Though she wants to implement the recommendations. The board voted unanimously.

You know what is even more ironic. In the white and black world you mostly live, this will shock you. The board is a 4:1 republican, but all voted for it.

This is what I find so ironic. Many of us have been saying that the conversations you seem NOW to want to have, are not had on this site.

Enjoy.
