REGISTRATION HAS CLOSED FOR THIS EVENT.

Did you join us last September 2022 for our one-day event with Stephany Powell and Rick Hoffman? This year, we are bringing you a more in-depth training.


We heard your feedback, so we will be bringing you a 3-day event Feb. 12-Feb. 14, 2024, to fully equip you to understand the depths of human trafficking and walk you through planning a reverse sting operation, resulting in the arrest of sex buyers.


This three-day course is intended for attendees to gain proficiency and understand how to conduct a successful hotel operation which targets the demand side of the commercial sex market. It will provide guidance in the identification and collection of evidence by improving the understanding of commercial sex and the resources available to aid in Human Trafficking investigations through the use of practical exercises.


This class will not cover basic human trafficking information.


You can review Human Trafficking 101 training here.
