Texas Human Trafficking Expert to Speak at SRW May 21 Meeting
|
Star Republican Women will feature guest speaker Texas Department of Public Safety human trafficking expert and organized crime liaison Captain Cliff Manning at its May 21 meeting.
The meeting will be held at Quail Point Community Center and will start with a complimentary light lunch at 12:30 p.m. followed by the program at 1:00 p.m. On any given day in Texas, there are 234,000 victims of labor trafficking and 79,000 victims of youth and minor sex trafficking. Human trafficking is real, and these statistics, provided by the office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, are staggering. Human trafficking is modern-day slavery. It is the exploitation of men, women and children for forced labor or sex by a third-party for profit or gain. As citizens, we should be aware of these organized crimes and how we might play a role in helping to identify victims and perpetrators. Captain Manning, who previously served in the U.S. Marine Corp and joined the Texas DPS in 1994, is stationed in Austin and serves as the subject matter expert on human trafficking and the organized crime liaison for Regions 2 and 3. He works within the Organized Crime Section of the DPS Criminal Investigations Division. Captain Manning, named DPS’s first human trafficking task force supervisor in 2014, will provide an overview of how Texas DPS is combatting human trafficking in Texas and tips on how citizens can help spot victims and offenders. Please join us for this event. Guests are welcome. |
