Child Trafficking Solutions Project

The Child Trafficking Solutions Project (CTSP) is a broad-based coalition of anti-human trafficking organizations, local, state, and federal law enforcement, government agencies, juvenile justice, NGO’s, healthcare providers, child protective services, and survivor care providers, that seek to rescue and restore child victims of sex trafficking. Comprehensive training is offered customized for audiences of law enforcement, first responders, medical personnel, educators, child-serving professionals, parents, and students to prevent, recognize, and respond to child trafficking.

CTSP partnered with U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking (USIAHT) in 2019 to promote the Trafficking Free Zone (TFZ) Initiative among municipalities, counties, and communities across Alabama. TFZ cities/communities agree to focus upon these priorities: training 100% of employees, training 100% of first responders, adopting a personnel policy of zero tolerance for sex buying and sex trafficking, and implementing awareness and prevention campaigns in their communities.
