Also in FY 17, in collaboration with local providers, we offered a survey to the five local anti-trafficking teams (covering nine counties and representing over 20 disciplines) to measure the impact of their local teams. As a result of participating on their MDT, participants: Increased their skills in identifying & serving victims 80% 92.3% Increased their knowledge of trafficking Feedback from participants included: “MDTs bring the different pieces together because trafficking requires both law enforcement and non-law enforcement entities to be involved from the start. Police need to know who to call, and victims need someone they can trust with information that may involve illegal activity.” “It has been wonderful to see the willingness of some agencies to participate as well as offer time and resources.” “This group is passionate and works very hard to educate themselves on this issue. I get so much from this group. “Our team is a collaboration of many great law enforcement and advocacy agencies.” “I have taken a lot from the meetings and formed community relationships to benefit the youth we serve.” Believe the MDT fosters collaboration 91% Know who to call & will make the call if serving a trafficking victim 86% 8
