Human Trafficking Awareness Added to Motor Carrier Program
Kansas Ag Connection - 07/22/2016

The Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC) is now including "Truckers Against Trafficking" training in weekly motor carrier safety programs presented in six locations across the state. The national Truckers Against Trafficking program enlists the help of motor carriers in identifying and reporting suspected human trafficking activities as they travel the nation's highways.

Several thousand motor carriers attend the free KCC training programs each year, making it an effective way to recruit the help of Kansas truckers. The training includes an informational video as well as wallet cards and decals.

The next session will be held in Topeka on July 25.

On April 8, 2016, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt announced a partnership with Truckers Against Trafficking and the Kansas Motor Carriers Association to raise awareness and combat human trafficking in the state. Last month, the Attorney General's office provided training to KCC Transportation division employees as they prepared to incorporate the Trucker's Against Trafficking message into their statewide motor carrier safety programs.
