(Watertown) The Watertown Police Department is hosting a presentation on the dangers of social media and human trafficking next week. It is in partnership with the Washington County Anti-Trafficking Advocates. Chief Dave Brower says the program is free and open to the public.
“[It is] a good time to learn about different aspects of human trafficking…how social media can be used to exploit and to groom people for those sorts of things,” says Brower. “It is a good training on how to identify the signs of grooming…looking for red flags…how to report these things…resources people can look out for and engage with to prevent this from happening.”
A resource fair starts at 6pm and the presentation gets underway at 6:30 and goes until 8pm in the lower level of the police department at 106 Jones Street.
Pre-registration is requested but not required. To register email kitaliano@watertownwi.gov.
