Ask a Cop

New York City police officers are on the front line. They can identify and rescue victims, and arrest perpetrators. But many of New York’s finest don’t even know what human trafficking is. Help NOW-NYC convince the NYPD that the need exists for comprehensive and effective training in law enforcement to better end the trafficking of women and girls for commercial sexual exploitation.

Next time you see a police officer, ask the officer what she or he knows about trafficking. Then send an email to contact@nownyc.org letting us know what you found out. Please include information on where and when you spoke to the officer.

Sample Questions To Get You Started:

Excuse me, officer…
“I heard that New York passed a law criminalizing human trafficking. Do you see that kind of thing?”
“I just read an article that human trafficking is happening here in New York City. Is that true?”
