RTG Human Trafficking: Sex Trafficking

Members of the fire service are in a unique position to combat human trafficking in their communities.

This lesson invites members of the fire service across the Los Angeles region to increase their situational awareness regarding human trafficking, and sex trafficking in particular.

It provides data, definitions, real-world examples, and interviews to help disprove common myths. It also covers essential indicators that first responders can use to help identify possible trafficking situations and recommendations for appropriate intervention.

By the end of the training, see if you can spot all of the indicators in a video scenario of a routine EMS call.

RTG Arson

One critical role firefighters play in their communities is identifying potential arson crimes. Firefighters need to be aware of suspicious indicators and understand the investigation process. Over the last 20 years, one-third of all domestic violent extremist attacks were arson attacks.

This course will help fire service members recognize the prevalence of arson, understand the importance of not overlooking the cause and origin of a fire, recognize common arson tactics, identify clues that could indicate a potential crime scene, and demonstrate the proper procedure for handling evidence and preserving a crime scene.

RTG Domestic Violent Extremism

The risks of radicalization and domestic violent extremism have increased in recent years. Societal norms have changed, and the path to violence has become far more condensed. With so many controversial narratives today, there has been an alarming increase in the number of individuals who have mobilized to violence.

This lesson will help fire service personnel build awareness of what domestic violent extremism looks like, understand the condensed time frame between radicalization and mobilization to violence, recognize when the potential for violent extremism may exist, and recognize how these issues affect them in their day-to-day duties.

RTG Human Trafficking: Labor Trafficking

Members of the fire service are in a unique position to combat human trafficking in their communities.

This lesson invites members of the fire service across the Los Angeles region to increase their situational awareness regarding human trafficking, and labor trafficking in particular.

It provides data, definitions, real-world examples, and interviews to help disprove common myths. It also covers essential indicators that first responders can use to help identify possible trafficking situations and recommendations for appropriate intervention.

By the end of the training, see if you can spot all of the indicators in a video scenario of a routine fire inspection.
