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.
 
Our business licensing also plays a role in addressing sex trafficking businesses. They helped LVMPD close 19 establishments since 2013 related to prostitution. By revoking their business license, we are able to shut the business down. Prostitution is not legal in Las Vegas and many sex trafficked victims are forced to work in places like massage parlors to beauty salons, which may be a cover for sex trafficking operations and illegal sex activity.
 
If you suspect someone of human trafficking and they need help: 888-373-7888
