The Lawrenceville Police Department will partner with Street Grace and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to provide the community and law enforcement officers the opportunity to take a human trafficking training class on August 8 or August 15.
According to a social media post from the department, the class will focus on signs of Human Trafficking and tips for investigation. Instruction will also discuss the process of successful prosecution needs for these types of cases.
The class will be split into two parts, with the first half open to the general public and the second only available to sworn police officers who present their department-issued ID cards or credentials before entering the class.
The portion of the class that will be open to both civilians and Police Officers will be led by the organization Street Grace, which collaborates with faith, business, and community leaders to provide a comprehensive path to end the sexual exploitation of minors. This portion of the class will center around preventing, identifying, and responding to trafficking.
The second portion of the class will be led by Jonathan Leach from the GBI Human Trafficking Unit and Assistant Attorney General Prosecutor Chris Keegan.
The event will take place at the Aurora Theater located at 128 East Pike Street in Lawrenceville.
