Abstract
The American Fire Service occupies real estate at a critical juncture of public health, public security, and public trust. All available data indicates California has a significant human trafficking problem; while human trafficking poses as a dynamic transient crime, often serving as an intersectional criminal tactic, California’s law enforcement and emergency response systems and resources are not being leveraged to match the threat. The Alameda County Fire Department’s role as community based first responders provides them unique access to environments which would be otherwise inaccessible to law enforcement. Fire/EMS personnel enjoy a level of trust law enforcement does not and have not been fully integrated into California’s anti-trafficking response. If not properly trained to identify human trafficking related suspicious behavior, victims or perpetrators may go unidentified.
