What Sets Our Training Apart?

What sets the International Association of Human Trafficking Investigators (IAHTI) apart from other organizations is the dedication and expertise of our trainers. Our instructors are active or retired professionals from local, state, and federal agencies, each bringing direct, hands-on experience in human trafficking investigations. Unlike programs that focus primarily on theoretical knowledge, IAHTI’s trainers share invaluable real-world insights gained through years of fieldwork.

IAHTI has had the honor of presenting to a diverse array of prestigious national and international organizations, including the National Institute of Justice, the Office for Victims of Crime Technical Training Assistance Center, the U.S. State Department, 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, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and numerous other organizations across North America. In its early years, IAHTI’s founders played a pivotal role in assisting the National Institute of Justice in preparing a comprehensive report for Congress.

We offer specialized in-person and online training programs tailored to law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels, as well as prosecutors and crime analysts. Our comprehensive curriculum includes courses on: Introduction to Human Trafficking, Advanced Human Trafficking Investigations, Sex Trafficking, Labor Trafficking, Gang and Organized Crime Investigations, IMPACT Investigations, Document Fraud, Brothel Investigations, Harboring Investigations, Indentured Servitude, Social Media and OSINT Investigations, Victim-Centered Investigations, Vice and Undercover Operations, Legal Trends, Case Law Updates, and Large-Scale Event Planning.

A key advantage of IAHTI training is the invaluable networking opportunities it offers. The exchange of best practices and collaboration among investigators is essential for ensuring effective victim rescues and successful trafficker prosecutions.
