The Division of Criminal Justice Leads Historic Effort to Equip Law Enforcement with Tools to Combat Human Trafficking
Beginning July 2025, every new law enforcement recruit will be required to receive specialized training in identifying, investigating, and responding to human trafficking. For the first time in Colorado history, Colorado’s Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) program is recommending the use of a course tailored to train police academy cadets on how to recognize and understand human trafficking called Human Trafficking Investigations: An Introductory Course in law enforcement training.
This initiative, led by the Division of Criminal Justice’s human trafficking team, its Colorado Human Trafficking Council (CHTC), and local and state law enforcement officers, aims to equip police officers with the necessary tools to identify, investigate, and disrupt human trafficking operations within the state.
