Abstract
The survey findings provided important insights into local law enforcement's estimates and perceptions of sex trafficking in 2014; however, the potential for those findings to help identify and codify best local police practices for responding to the problem was limited. The next recommended step would be to conduct in-depth case studies of the agencies reporting extensive experience with responding to sex trafficking, focusing on highly effective strategies and tactics for identifying cases and on police agency involvement in rescuing and providing services to victims.
