Nevada ranks ninth in the nation for human trafficking 😢
#humantraffickingawarenessday
Last year, lasvegasfd trained all firefighters and dispatchers on how to support victims when responding on domestic violence and possible human trafficking calls.
Research shows that 83 percent of victims, perpetrators, or both, had contact with criminal justice, victim assistance and/or health care agencies in the year prior to homicide, indicating multiple opportunities for prevention through risk assessment training and intervention. Las Vegas Fire & Rescue responds to more than 90,000 calls for service a year.
This year, Las Vegas Fire & Rescue will continue their training in identification, treatment and ambulance transfer to the hospital. Front line personnel are learning what to do and how to handle these patients with care from arrival on scene to patient transfer at the hospital or on scene with LVMPD.
