Training
What Sets Our Training Apart?
The International Association of Human Trafficking Investigators (IAHTI) stands apart through the unmatched expertise of its instructors and the measurable impact of its work. Our trainers are active and retired law enforcement leaders from local, state, and federal agencies who have directed complex human trafficking investigations and dismantled organized criminal networks. IAHTI delivers practical, field-tested strategies—not theory—equipping professionals with the skills and intelligence needed to rescue victims and hold traffickers accountable.
IAHTI is a trusted training partner to premier national and international agencies, including the National Institute of Justice, the Office for Victims of Crime Training and Technical Assistance Center, the U.S. Department of State, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the United States Marshals Service, the DHS Center to Combat Human Trafficking, the Department of Justice Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. In its formative years, IAHTI’s founders assisted the National Institute of Justice in preparing a comprehensive report to Congress—demonstrating our longstanding role in shaping national strategy.
Through specialized in-person and online training programs, IAHTI serves law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, Crown prosecutors, and crime analysts nationwide. Our curriculum spans introductory to advanced investigative techniques, victim-centered practices, organized crime investigations, digital and social media intelligence, legal updates, and large-scale operation planning.
Every IAHTI training strengthens an international network of professionals committed to collaborative intelligence-sharing and coordinated enforcement. Donor investment directly expands this network—accelerating victim identification, increasing successful prosecutions, and building sustainable capacity to combat human trafficking across North America.
