About IAHTI
Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing organized crimes worldwide and ranks among the largest criminal industries, according to the FBI. The International Association of Human Trafficking Investigators (IAHTI) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to combating this global crisis. Since 2009, IAHTI has trained tens of thousands of law enforcement professionals, prosecutors, and analysts across 70 countries. Through specialized training, technical and analytical support, a secure collaboration forum, and strategic partnerships, IAHTI equips professionals with the tools needed to identify victims, dismantle trafficking networks, and hold offenders accountable. In partnership with technology leaders and allied organizations, IAHTI also established the Human Trafficking Intelligence and Technology Center, providing advanced technology solutions to strengthen anti-trafficking efforts across the United States and Canada.
What Makes us Different?
IAHTI stands apart from other organizations in the fight against human trafficking through our team of active and retired investigators, prosecutors, crime analysts, and survivors of human trafficking—each bringing invaluable, real-world experience to the table. Unlike programs that rely solely on theoretical concepts or textbook knowledge, IAHTI’s trainers offer firsthand insights drawn from years of hands-on casework. This unique blend of practical expertise and best practices equips investigators with the tools to identify cases, recover victims, and successfully close human trafficking investigations.
IAHTI’s cutting-edge digital resources, including our Human Trafficking Technology Intelligence Centers (HTTIC) and members’ forum, ensure investigators stay up to date with the latest investigative techniques and technologies. Our platform fosters global collaboration, enabling law enforcement professionals to connect, share strategies, learn from one another, and access victim service providers and housing across North America—ultimately strengthening the global response to human trafficking.
With locations in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Maryland, and Halifax, Nova Scotia, IAHTI is committed to providing comprehensive support throughout North America and wherever it’s needed globally.
