Strengthening Capacity of Law Enforcement Agencies to Effectively Combat Human Trafficking. British High Commission
Human trafficking is considered to be complex, difficult to investigate and a growing global criminal activity. Law Enforcement Agencies perform a key role in preventing and combating this criminal activity. However, to be able to carry out their duties they need to be aware of the current trends and to be able to identify and protect victims. Simultaneously it is important that prosecution measures should gender responsive and human rights oriented and victim centric. In this context, FXBIS is implementing the project with support from the British High Commission, New Delhi, to achieve the following aims: to train over 1000 law enforcement officer in close collaboration with State police training academy, to identify 120 officers from each state training to undergo TOT program based on pre-designed selection criteria developed in collaboration with state's police department. The officers would be deputed to train other police officials in the State Police Training Academies and the Police Training Colleges/Centres situated in other districts, and also to set in motion a web-based knowledge resource mobile application on Human Trafficking, which could be accessed by the trainers and other law enforcement officers to keep them updated and oriented with identification of the emerging trends, legal provisions, practices, and judgments.
